I love Sheryl! She is so talented, beautiful and intelligent! Plus I love that Jamaican accent!
Niecy Nash body is bananas!! A nice full figured woman!!
Ms. Ralph should be a nice complement to the group. She seems like she would fit well with the rest of the ensemble. I love her and look forward to the kind of magic that she and Niecey Nash will create by being on screen together. Looking forward to it.
