Sheryl Lee Ralph got her flowers, and we love it!
It’s been quite a week for the “Abbott Elementary” star, who has been basking in post-winner glory since she won an Emmy for her role as the no-nonsense kindergarten teacher — Barbara Howard — on the hit ABC series.
The shocking and sweet moment the actress accepted Beyoncé’s gesture was set to the theme song from the Broadway musical “Dreamgirls,” for which she won a Tony Award in 1981 and was recorded by Ralph’s 30-year-old son, Etienne Maurice.

In a clip shared by Ralph on Instagram, the actress is seen opening a card containing some personal words from Beyoncé. According to the post, the “Single Woman” singer — who took over the role of Deena Ralph in the 2006 adaptation of “Dreamgirls” — wrote:
“To the original Dreamgirl, sending you congratulations. All my love, Beyoncé.”
The camera pans quickly to show the 65-year-old staring at the arrangement and notes in front of him with his mouth wide open. Ralph continued to stare at Beyoncé’s gift for the rest of the clip before declaring, “Great. I don’t have a voice, but it’s good.” The actress shared how much the gesture meant to her in the caption of the post, writing:
“Everyone has their own special dreams and all your dreams can come true. Just look in the mirror and love what’s in front of you. Thank you @beyonce don’t forget to dream girls!”
In another Instagram reel, the actress was surprised by a delivery person who brought her a bouquet of pink and white flowers while on the set of “Abbott Elementary.” After declaring that it was “crazy nice” to receive flowers, the mother of two opened the note and realized that TV queen Oprah Winfrey was the sender.
Winfrey noted that she is still recovering from Ralph’s Emmy acceptance speech, which was “the greatest of all time.” The TV host said he was still celebrating the actor and sent some blessings. People on set enhanced the moment, clapping as Ralph appreciated Winfrey before riding in the flower cart.
In the caption, the “To Sleep with Anger” star said she’s “still basking in the light of love,” “smelling the flowers,” and “still so thankful and grateful to all of you and Oprah too!!!”
Even rapper and singer-songwriter Kid Cudi got a shout-out when he sent Ralph a bouquet of flowers. Responding to Maurice’s clip shared together himself read the attached note, Cudi written:
“She deserves ALL her flowers!!! What a beautiful family. I can’t wait to meet you one day. Welcome @thesherylralph !!! Sending all my love to you and your wonderful family. And really, your son saying the name of my kingdom correctly made my year!!”
“Lost in the Pershing Point Hotel” Cast Sings For Emmy Win
Shortly after he won the Emmy, The Blast noted how historic Ralph’s win was, especially for the Black community. As it turned out, the “Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit” actress became the second black woman to win a Primetime Emmy in the “Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series” category after Jackee Harry’s 1987 win for “227.”
After she accepted the award from the presenters — Amy Poehler and Seth Meyers — the once-divorced star broke into a verse from jazz singer Diane Reeves’ 1993 hit, “Endangered Species.” “I’m an endangered species, but I don’t sing the victim’s song / I’m a woman, I’m an artist, and I know where my voice is,” she says passionately.
He then told the audience to see it as proof that their dreams can be achieved, encouraging them to “never give up on you.” Ralph also paid tribute to her husband – Vincent Hughes, actor Quinta Bunson, her two children – Etienne and Ivy-Victoria, and fans for being in her corner.
Etienne also posted a TikTok video of her mother thanking the crowd for their support before the awards ceremony began. She captioned the clip, “A message from Mommy before she hits the red carpet at #emmys2022. It’s time!”
