Two weeks ago, Rachel Dolezal made the headlines for impersonating a Black woman and serving as the president of the Spokane, Wash. chapter of the NAACP. She was met with much warranted criticism and Black Twitter hilariously started #AskRachel. Some pointed out that former Saturday Night Live cast member Maya Rudolph would be perfect to provide an impression of Dolezal.

The end of May through June is always a wonderful time, as it's when many Black folks graduate with high school diplomas, as well with undergraduate and advanced degrees. It's always great to see our people pursuing their dreams and achieving greatness.

Maya Rudolph delivered a performance of "The Star-Spangled Banner" as the commencement speaker at Tulane University this weekend that reminds us all of her days imitating divas on SNL.

Tonight is the night! The Maya Rudolph Show premieres tonight at 10/9C on NBC.

Maya is the daughter of Minnie Riperton (Remember the "mayas" at the end of "Loving You"?) and Richard Rudolph. She was a cast member on 'Saturday Night Live' from 2000-2007, and every now and again she returns for hilarious appearances like this one. Since then, she's been performing in LA and featured in hit movies like "Bridesmaids," but Maya's talents deserve this sort of platform. Can't wait.

While we're anxiously awaiting the May 19 debut of The Maya Rudolph show, we'll just have to settle for these brief glimpses of her genius.

Last night Maya made a surprise appearance on the 'Saturday Night Live' to play Queen Bey in the opening sketch. Of course, it centered around the much-talked about elevator fight between Solange and Jay Z. Jay Pharaoh played the rapper and Sasheer Zamata played Solange.

Though I, personally, am over the ordeal, this was great!
