Beyond her on-screen presence, Dawnn Lewis also helped shape the show’s identity by co-writing its iconic theme song, earning multiple BMI TV Music Awards for her work Her career spans nearly four decades, with memorable roles on Hangin’ with Mr. Cooper, appearances in films like I’m Gonna Git You Sucka and Dreamgirls, and an extraordinary body of voice work — including Captain Carol Freeman on Star Trek: Lower Decks, and roles on Futurama, The Simpsons, and many more. Some of her roles and songs have won her multiple accolades, including best actress from the NAACP Image Awards as well as awards from ASCAP and BMI.

She’s a trailblazer, becoming one of the first honorees to be inducted into the Women’s Songwriter Hall of Fame as well as being a grammy-award winning singer. Dawnn Lewis represents the power of women who lead with creativity, resilience, and purpose — making her voice especially meaningful as we continue our celebration of Women’s History Month here at Victor Valley College.   We now present Dawnn Lewis at Victor Valley College for our RAMS Report special during Womens History Month.
