The American Health and Beauty Aids Institute (AHBAI) is pleased to announce three sensational stars will be at the upcoming Proud Lady Beauty Show held at the Hyatt Regency Hotel, downtown Chicago, March 15 - 17, 2003.

The 2003 Proud Lady Beauty Show boasts guest appearances from Mo'nique of UPN's top-rated comedy series "The Parkers," Kellita Smith from the hit FOX Television series, "The Bernie Mac Show" and Sheryl Lee Ralph from the hit television show "Moesha."

MO'NIQUE
Award winning actress Mo'nique, best known as the irrepressible, bodacious Nikki Parker on "The Parkers" will appear at the 2003 Proud Lady Beauty Show on Saturday, March 15.

Known for her self-described "sexy sweet" style of comedy, Mo'nique's career began to skyrocket with performances on "Showtime at the Apollo," HBO's "Russell Simmons Def Comedy Jam," and BET's "Comic View," to name a few.

Mo'nique's sarcastic stand up is a full scale laugh attack that's not afraid to go over the top-or below the belt as evident in the highly successful concert event "The Queens of Comedy," which earned a GRAMMY nomination for Best Spoken Comedy Album.

KELLITA SMITH
Kellita Smith co-stars as Wanda Mac, the independent, career-savvy yet charming wife of comedian/actor Bernie Mac on the hit FOX Television series, "The Bernie Mac Show."

Although Kellita embarks on a new journey as co-star of her first television series, she approaches the task with passion, dedication and experience. Kellita has had recurring roles on CBS' "Nash Bridges," UPN's "Malcolm & Eddie," FOX Television's "Martin" and The WB's "Jamie Foxx Show" and "Sister, Sister."

Clearly establishing a presence on the small screen, the beautiful and talented actress who has a witty personality that is magnetic has also graced the big screen. She co-starred in Fox Searchlights "Kingdom Come" starring Whoopi Goldberg, Miramax's "The Crossing Guard" with Jack Nicholson, directed by Sean Pean and New Line Cinema's "House Party III."

Be sure to meet Kellita at the Proud Lady Booth for autograph signing on Sunday, March 16 in the afternoon and at the Proud Lady Model Search that evening!

SHERYL LEE RALPH
Acrtress, singer, producer and filmmaker Sheryl Lee Ralph is no stranger to success. She is best known for her star role on the hit television series "Moesha." On the Broadway stage she originated and created the role of Deena Jones in the Michael Bennett landmark musical, "Dreamgirls," which earned her a Tony Award nomination and a Drama Desk Award nomination for best actress.

Sheryl Lee made her triumphant return to Broadway with "Thoroughly Modern Millie," which won the 2002 Tony Award for Best Musical. She has also starred in the hit television show "It's a Living," her own series "New Attitude" and with George Foreman on "George."

Her extensive film credits include "Sister Act II," "The Flintstones," "The Mighty Quinn" with Denzel Washington and Eddie Murphy's "Distinguished Gentleman." Sheryl Lee also won an Independent Spirit Award as Best Supporting Actress from her work in the film, "To Sleep with Anger."
