Respect for herself & others. She never came off as being perfect or "holier than thou". She told things about her life without giving away too much information. I love to see how she always did her best to "bow out" of situations with as much dignity as possible but yet, she let us know that she wasn't always perfect in doing so...My respect for her grew even more...Because she didn't attempt to come off as Ms. Perfect {at least not from what I saw in reading this book.}...I enjoyed the book a lot more than I expected to. That's why I gave it a 5/5...I wasn't sure what to expect when I picked it up..Sometimes I will pick up a book about someone and the writing style is just horrible {there's been at least one or two of those kind of biographies/autobiographies that make you wonder..why did they even try? lol}..But this one, for me personally, made it hard for me to put down...And I love books like that...You don;t want to sleep, you barely want to move until you are done with it! But, we all have things to do and/or kids to raise....lol ( ) I loved this book. She is the person that I always thought she was. Respect for herself & others.

"Sheryl Lee Ralph's superstar performance as the original Deena in Broadway's groundbreaking musical Dreamgirls didn't happen overnight. First came a grueling Hollywood apprenticeship, where roles for young black women at the time were often offensive and demeaning. Sherly Lee, however, held stubbornly to the values of her mother and grandmother: she wouldn't take any part she couldn't be proud of. Even after joining Dreamgirls -- where she helped create a role that grew from her own life story -- she would invest years of sweat and tears before the play finally opened to instant acclaim. In these highly personal reflections, Sheryl Lee Ralph reveals her take on her supposed feuds with Diana Ross and Jennifer Holliday, on auditioning for Sidney Poitier, on why she exited so controversally from the TV series Moesha, and how she signed away her rights to Dreamgirls for a dollar. She uses her life story to illustrate her vision: black, white, or any other color of the rainbow, a true Diva is a person of strength, character, and a beauty that radiates from within. Not just a memoir, Redifining Diva will inspire every woman (and man) who reads it to examine the potential in their own life" -- Publisher's description, p. [4] of cover.
