I feel bad because I was one of those black women who didn't like her at first. I love her now. But this is a huge lesson for me. Show grace and understanding. ❤
dn't feel bad... she needed to read and not make idiotic comments on public tv
@@beardzgorski8397 is that a rule or something? There's a whole bunch of people who read but are still ignorant and uncouth
@@chayo4537THANK YOU!
@shaliboyd3417 I'm glad you learned. Stop being so quick to judge people, especially your fellow sistas. You never know when YOU will need grace, sympathy and understanding.
@@chayo4537 Name one...are they reading comic books? yes..its a rule.. HTF do u know anything w/o reading?
She's humble and teachable....that goes a long way!!!!
As some who grew up in the church, I can attest that the church does not promote critical thinking. Since leaving the church, my knowledge of the world has how it works has expanded greatly. I can enter any room and join just about any political conversation with confidence. Thank you for your transparency, beautiful!
Barbara Walter's was a master teacher. A great experience Sherri.
That advice that Barbara gave her, "you've got to read" is so simple, but still gold. But still many people just don't know.
Yep. It's pure gold to read. Cannot go wrong there.
I love how real Sherri is, and how her resiliency allows her to bounce back from adversity. She continuously moves forward in faith. I'm proud of her.
“In that pain of falling, I grew.”
😳wow
Love Sherri's honesty and humility. Keep on shining queen! She demonstrates that those who have knowledge are not better than you. They are just better educated. So go and get some education that is necessary for you to compete fairly and not sound like an ignoramus. She's evolved and is an example to us all. Love you Sherri 🙌🏾❤️
except-she wasn't honest. Sherri was pitifully outmatched when it came to brains on this show. she never knew anything about anything. i am baffled as to why she even agreed to come on the show.
@ronda allen, she just explained that in the video.
@@wandajones4030 she tried. she will never be able to explain why a grown woman did not know the shape of planet earth.
@ronda allen that's literally what she said. Do you have comprehension issues? Is that the problem? She's not the only adult flat earther. Many of them unfortunately exist but at least she became educated and developed.
@@rondaallen7211 Yeah, I mean you can't blame your religion for not knowing basic high school social studies. A lot of ppl aren't encouraged to read but they do it anyway as they become an adult, so on some level, it seems she wasn't interested in being more educated until it became embarrassing. Also, didn't she have to audition for the show? Didn't they know she didn't have a political mind when they hired her? Were they setting her up to be the dummy?
I resonated with EVERYTHING she said from the soul searching to educating herself on politics to even the voice inflections. Lol Self confidence is a game changer.
Self education is so necessary. Teach yourself and you can do it in silence and no one will ever know,
Lol.
@mocah girl I agree 100%. As a black woman in healthcare leadership I struggled with my confidence as well. Especially speaking in public due to my high pitched voice. I’ve grown so much in 5 years and listening to other successful women like @sherrishepard helps me improve!
OMG! Thank you for this! I said to myself "Sherri has really grown" now I know how and why!
I am so excited, and proud of Sherri. She looks good, speak well, and display self happiness from ear to ear. Do your thing.
Powerful message. Strong lady to push through all of that in front of millions. Now look at her. Never give up.
It took strength to go to work every day. There’s no way I could’ve continued. Sherri got that 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
"If you don't speak up, I'm gonna eat you up" - wow that is powerful. And necessary, especially for black women. Because society speaks over us and doesn't value our voice. But we have one and we need to use it. I had to literally learn speak over people to get them to hear me and when that didn't happen, use my stature, lean in or stand up to get them to shut up and listen or at least pretend to hear me.
I really love her perspective. I remember her guffaws and fumbles on the view and it's so beautiful to see her growing into herself and find her voice. It's one of the reasons why I don't believe we should cancel people but allow them the opportunity to correct coarse and grow.
ABSOLUTELY!!!
Exactly! Thank you!
No matter your age , we all need good mentors to continue our career and personal development. Im so glad Sherri didn’t give into the negative criticism. Thank you Sherri for your contribution to our daytime culture. ❤😊
C M Thank you for your comment. At 51 I'm starting a new career and sometimes l feel very intimidated but after what I saw Sherri go through l can do this. Even at my age I need a mentor.
@@SANDYMILLER23 You got this! 💯💛👍🏼
I forgot all about Sheri''s butt of the joke era. But her journey proves that it's not how you start, it's how you finish.❤
Onc3 yall go bjack, stay on cracc!
*track
She gave 2 great confidence tips: 1. "I don't have a problem saying NO" and 2. "I don't have a problem standing by what I say"
I can relate to the "no questions asked" authority system Sherri speaks of. I came to really resent it and tried my best not to convey that system to my two children. They were allowed to ask questions and why's and so forth as long as they were respectful. I was honest when I didn't know the answers to their questions and worked together with them to find those answers.
FACTS❤
How did this come to my feed when I was feeling overwhelmed with today’s work and all the shenanigans going on?! I was just crying after such a difficult past month! I am a strong woman, who oftentimes play the victim and shrink in all my greatness…I don’t want to do this! Sherri’s words gives me hope to do better and to stop whining!
I love Sherri and her transformation from a budding flower to a beautiful bloom. She has overtime, adapted and reshaped her perspective, that is why she is a great talk show host and comedian.
Yes. 👍 Beautifully said. 😢
...and we are so glad she had the best mentor, Barbara Walters, who supported her and helped her become who she is today. Therefore, since she made it through 'The View' experience, she can now make it through anything...and I know Barbara Walters is so very proud of you Sherri, and so are we. God bless you.✝️🙏❤.
@sherrishepherd
@SherriShowTV
Ditto
This is a perfect example of understanding everything doesn't happen "to us", a lot of things happen "for us". We go through things to help us grow through things and most of the times we won't understand when we're in the midst of "the storm", but usually afterwards.
And that's why claiming racism and choosing to be offended at very turn is such a turn off and so anti growth.
I have a new respect for Sherri! What a really remarkable human being!❤
She ain’t never lied because when she spoke I’d be like girl…🤦🏾♀️😩. AS a Black woman I was embarrAASSSED.
That’s why they hired her. They, especially Barbara Walters, had a type of Black woman who they wanted for The View.
Starr Jones... Whoopi Goldberg, Sherri fit this type. Conventionally pretty Black women need not apply since the show stayed far away from being upstaged by a Black woman who looked anything other than the women they chose. Several guest Black cohosts checked all the boxes ... Ther y were intelligent, knowledgeable, well rounded, likable and beautiful ... but they didn’t hire them. Barbara made very “interesting” choices.
This interview cleared up a lot for me. She fired Susan from the Wendy’s show and we were like damnnnnn! She has BOSSED up and she STILL has a beautiful spirit!!!❤❤❤❤❤ #motivated
Wow! Suzanne got fired?? When??
@@beverleyreid7572 about a week ago. She did Suzanne a favor.
Honest. Beautiful. Exceptional. Thank you.
I appreciate Sherri's truth. It is great for her to share her life lessons. I love the Sherri Show also. So happy for her success!
Some of the hardest and painful situations shapes us into who we are today. I learn how to be assertive working for shark and vipers. I wish I could go back a little to being innocent and not immediately call anyone’s bluff and fakeness. Life! 🥰
Sherri, if God, didn’t want you there, you would not have been there! God, sent you there to be taught, when you get your own show, what to do. You are truly blessed!
I love it! So glad she shared her experience, it is inspiring and encouraging. I don’t understand why some folks are criticizing her for HER experience. She grew personally and professionally and now has a successful talk show. Meanwhile those of you on here criticizing.,..where is your success story?
This interview was a Masterclass!
Thank you 🙏🏾
I was taught the same way. It really makes it hard to thrive as an adult, and parents don't get how they're causing us to not have a complete view on life. I am working hard today to become a better person.
Sherri is the new Queen of Daytime 🤩
Sherry is still as irritating as heck.
@@IamAdrienne not at all.. lol
@@IamAdrienne I totally disagree. But looks like you probably are too.
Not really.
Growing and learning publicly. Yes you did. I always wondered why they picked her in the first place. I see why now. She was meant to get that role.
Amen.
Yes it was destiny, and Barbara knew it.
I got respect for her. She shows growth.
“You gotta be tough and insert yourself” - thanks for the advice Sheri ❤
I’ve never actually watched an entire show ( only clips) because: 1) they all talk over each other and it gives me a headache, 2) (ironically) they’re narcissistic and intolerant of anyone else’s views, 3) they name-call and belittle those that don’t agree with them, 4) I couldn’t stand that they were permitted to make hateful remarks and get away with it. I have respect for Sherri because she listened to the advice she was given from Barbara, she educated herself, she is willing to have civil discussions and hear other perspectives, she learned to question authority and formed her own opinions. You go girl!

#iLoveYouSheri ❤️
I totally understand, Sherri. I was a JW FOR OVER 50 years and recently woke up a few years ago. The leadership of Jehovah's Witnesses keeps its members ignorant and uneducated for the purpose of keeping their members from learning and growing. The more the Watchtower can keep its members ignorant and poor, the more control they have over its members. Watchtower has truly twisted, brainwashed, and endoctrinated the minds of Jehovah's Witnesses. I'm so glad Sherri got out of the Jehovah's Witness DOOMSDAY CULT. It would be so great if Sherri could be a huge activist against Jehovah's Witness CULT. Watchtower is going to be PROTESTED on October 31st 2023. At the WHITE HOUSE in Washington D.C. JOIN THE PROTEST.
So sad- 50 yrs. & all you got out of it was dishonor & hate.
Yes be free sis! God is with you.
@@memysefani it is full of hate and lies. Can’t stand them
⚘️💗Their is so much realness and gratitude in this interview , it deserves an EMMY just for being shared 💗⚘️
Despite Sherri’s information gap, she was always sincere and loved us. That made me a fan through those insecure years.
Wow!! Kudos to her for being so honest and transparent. Most people wouldn’t admit that they may have been ill qualified for a role. Kudos to her for never giving up on herself and staying in the fight. Shoutout to Barbara (may she Rest In Peace) for supporting her through Sherri’s most transformative years, because I can’t imagine NOT seeing her on my television screen with the new talk show. What a triumphant story!!
Babe you're the epitome of failing up! We (your fellow black women) love you and are so happy for your success and this chapter of your life and continued happiness and prosperity. Now I would not have characterized you as "ghetto" on the View, but you were giving major ditsy vibes back then. Joy is no different though, she is just highly skilled at hiding it. She just throws in her jokes and keeps it moving lol.
Thank you Miss Sherri for your transparency. ❤
I never saw Sherri on the View for one I didn't watch it. But I sure watch her now on her show, I love her and I admire her for raising her son on her own. She's funny and smart!! Keep up the good work Sherri.❤
Beautiful personality. I pray that you grow deeper in Christ Sherri.
I love Sherri's honesty...
She learned from her experiences. It didn't break her. It made her stronger!
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽❤️👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Very good conversation Jemel and Sherri. ❤
I can't remember what show she was on years ago, but I've always loved her. She is truly beautiful inside and out.
Sherri, thank you so much for not only knowing your audience, but for fighting for what you know we want to experience when we watch your show. Being a middle aged black woman, the guest you have and topics you take on mean so much to me and my friends. The show you did on MS literally had me in tears, because I was diagnosed with this disease 2 years ago, and that was the first time I had heard it discussed from the experience of someone who looked like me. Thank you so much for what you are doing to support not on WOC, but women & men everywhere. Keep doing you, and we will keep watching!
God Bless
Very insightful and wonderful experience she had of growth, she explained it well.:)
Great conversation ~ love both of these Women ✨🤲🏽✨ BLESSS 🙏🏽♾❤️
Wow! Her testimony! I can relate !! Thank you for sharing😊
Sherri is such an inspiration!
That’s such an awesome experience 👍🏽thank you for sharing 😊
Love and appreciate this level of honesty. It's food for my soul. Thanks for this interview❤
I love you Sherri!
Sherri thank you for sharing your experience on the view; ❤❤❤
Amazing interview session. I learned a lot from this. Sherri,you go girl.❤❤❤
Valuable discussion and lesson.❤
I learned a lot about Sherri and now that I know.......I ♥️♥️♥️ her!
Thank you Sherri and thank YOU, Jemele.
So inspiring. So thankful so shared this. I needed this.
Being raised in the church is not an excuse. My family was also JW. But my dad encouraged reading, I was an avid reader and did my research. I also went to an underperforming school but I loved to read and I had to advocate for my immigrant mother. But I also get where Sherri was coming from, I worked for an employer with a similar experience and experienced racial micro aggressions. Producers can be bullies, especially in that show. The only justice is that Whoopi took the show from Barbara and left Barbara in the dust. Sherri now has her own show
Ah I love Sherri; I miss her days on the view. Congrats on the new show xoxox
I loved every bit of this conversation❤️
Very good interview.. Thank u❤
Your growth
Your glo up
Your resilience
Is your response to those haters and those trying periods
❤️. Thank You for receiving and growing and pouring
This was an amazing interview!!
It is refreshing to hear Sherri tell her truth in this interview. I was one of those who didn’t like seeing Sherri on the view, because it seemed like she knew nothing about anything.
MS,SHERRI LIVE, LAUGH AND GROW...NO MATTER WHAT AGE WE ARE.
"Religion made me stupid, and and an old white woman fixed me." The comedy
This was a wonderful interview. 😊
Yo. This is so timely and such a damn inspiration!
This helps alot women learn how to navigate in these rooms ..Sherrie needs to write a book with all her tidbits ..fingers cross 🤞!!
I agree! That would be a great book. One of the Duggar sisters wrote a book to denounce the religious sect she grew up in that sounds a bit similar to Sherri’s religious experience. Sherri’s book could talk about how her religious background stifled her, but how she overcame at The View. It would be chock full of tips. Wow!
🤍 Sherri more and more, each and every other day I hear her speak.
I love you Sherri Shepherd!!! So beautiful 😍 and humble!! Love your show!! 😊
Omg!! I also grew up a Jehovahs Witness. I can relate to growing up not having a voice. Thank you for being transparent.
Awesome 🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾💖💖💖
So inspiring!!!
Truth to self, Truth to God,Truth to power.. Thank you
This is interesting. Branches of government are learned or at least should be in high school. Good job taking feedback and improving. Difficult in front of others and pride stops most.
She was going to say ‘Who’s the radio Jew!?’ Pahahahahahah…I can’t!
I'm very impressed by her growth. I did used to think of her as an airhead. I could partly relate though because I was also raised in a very religious environment.
Well, I know we love her on The Sherri Show!! You are awesome on your own show. ❤️ “God Did!”
No, she needed to learn about government and she needed to find her voice,
and question important topics that affect women -- I know when i started to read
the Wash Post becuse of my job, I ended up loving reading such great journalism
and i would spend Sundays reading it froin cover to cover and learned so much which prompted me to figure out how i felt about everything - whike learning about how
Washington works....Sheri can never allow anyone tomake her feel "less than" .....
Barbara Walters is one of the goats…she’s an OG. I like Sherri, glad aye was willing and able to take the criticism & keep pushing to get better.
Best smile, so confident 😊
Great clip. Very honest
Love to Sherri 💛🩵💚🧡💙
This is so real!!
Wow. That View both liberated and empowered Sherri.
I love Sherri❤️😀
It was painful for us, too.
Very relatable.
Amen
This was so wonderful
truth to power: I learned from the pain. Amen Sister. Thats it. Me too.
So interesting that the religious background enforced passivity & submission to authority & this influenced her in her interactions at work. Important thing to consider.
As soon as she said Jehovah Witness, I was just like ok that makes sense because they are a denomination that can be very secluded and almost cult-like in their doctrine.
"If you don't know what I'm talking about ask your momma; she'll tell you" #word
This explains a lot. I wish I had known the when the said the world was flat. I knew she was serious and did not show her grace. I am sorry for that because she was an embarrassment after having a BW like Star Jones, who was an attorney and SUPER SMART and intelligent on the show. I grew to like her later though.
