@time: For the last five years, Sheryl Lee Ralph has played a no-nonsense kindergarten teacher Barbara Howard on ‘Abbott Elementary’. We had to ask her which classic “words of wisdom” actually hold up. “All is fair in love and war?” Not quite, she says. Ralph, 69, won her first Emmy for the role—just the second Black woman to win Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series—and has earned consecutive nominations since. The longtime actress and performer is TIME’s Woman of the Year, recognized alongside 15 other leaders working toward a more equitable future. #sherylleeralph #hollywood #movietok #abbottelementary
