The View's Sherri Shepherd shares Grenada experience with viewers


by Michael Bascombe
New York, April 4, 2011 – Daytime Emmy Award-winner Sherri Shepherd described her recent vacation in Grenada as “something special”.
Ms. Shepherd, who is a co-host of ABC’s The View, shared her experience with her colleagues and the live audience on Monday.
On the set, she wore a dress made in Grenada and displayed photographs taken on her one-week stay at the Spice Island Beach Resorts which included Annadale Waterfall, Grand Anse Beach and Grand Etang.
“Well the lovely ladies from Grenada made me this dress,” she said in her opening comments on the day-time show. “This is a waterfall in Grenada and you guys got to go to Grenada because it was really great.”
“I stayed at the most beautiful place at Spice Island St. George’s and it was just so wonderful and relaxing,” she added.
But it was not the first time a member of the cast has visited the Spice Isle since Joy Behar, one of the two original co-hosts, also announced that she has visited the island before.
“The people are beautiful there too, I once was there and I said to this beautiful woman, you are so pretty and she said, do you want to come home with me?”
Ms. Shepherd, who was accompanied by her fiancé Sal, also kept her followers updated via tweeter during her stay in the Spice Isle.
She was awarded the 2010 Superstar Award at The Dusable Museum of African American History in Chicago and the 2010 BraveHeart Women Authenticity Award from BraveHeart Women Global Community recognizing her work as a trailblazer who inspires women and helping to create change in the world.
Ms. Shepherd was featured in the award-winning film Precious based on the novel Push by Sapphire and will soon be seen in the upcoming feature One for the Money. Ms. Shepherd’s film credits include: Who’s Your Caddy, Beauty Shop, Cellular, Guess Who and Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa. Ms. Shepherd’s television credits include: Less than Perfect, Everybody Loves Raymond, Joan of Arcadia, Suddenly Susan, The Jamie Foxx Show, and Hot In Cleveland which was aired in February 2011.
