Ralph has also been seen on Broadway in Reggae and Thoroughly Modern Millie. The DIVA Foundation, founded by Ralph in 1990, focuses on generating resources and producing events that raise awareness and educate millions of people around the world affected and infected by HIV/AIDS. The DIVA Foundation utilizes music, entertainment and voice as a vehicle to inform, educate and reduce the stigma attached to the deadly disease.
