Did you feel represented watching 90s shows/movies?
I was so glad to see you and Tamera on Sister Sister! I was like YAASSS, finally some black people, my black sisters, that I could relate to! I just loved the show and still do! I'm 2 yrs behind ya'll so it was very relevant to me.
Your show and others helped! I feel like there wasn’t much nuance to the characters though.. everyone fit a stereotype
I NEEDED to hear this!!! Thank You So Much Tia! I’ve been dying to wear my natural coils but I’ve been afraid of how people would possibly view me differently. Thank you for giving me courage and inspiration. ✝️💜♥️💪🏾🙌🏾
I ❤ watching Sister Sister
Thank you for this Tia really need this
I'm so tired of the sassy stereotypes that ALL black women are forced in. There are quiet and delicate black women. It's so sad. When I met people, they want to meet the stereotype not me. Thank you for shedding a light on this issue.
Blacks as a whole always have to fight harder for everything. As we know it's simply because of our skin color. Then being a black woman, we really have to fight harder. What "people" see as sassy, is really a fighting spirit. We aren't allowed to be delicate enough.
Yes I felt responsible for a lot of reprogramming of strangers. Im always disappointed in the expectation for me to be angry and reactive.
ME too, im tired of it as well, yall should stop portrayin that shit soo much even ONLINE so they cant keep using us for tropes and shit
I know right...It's like we can't even be ourselves..I'm sick of this shyt..We're not all the same!
And to be honest, when we are nice, everybody wants to run over us..It's like we can't win..smfh.
I’m so happy that you’re speaking up on this topic Tia! Thanks so much for exposing the truth and for continuing to advocate for equality 😘❤️
✊🏽💕
I respect you and yours!!
@@TiaMowrysQuickFix Hi tia I love sister sister i finished it and was so sad that I did but then I found family reunion and....(in a week I finished that too😂) but I just wanted to ask if you knew when the next season was for family reunion was! Thanks for all the great shows and movies. BYEE
Nicely said. Power to our ppl!!!👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾
ok
"We learned how to make lemonade out of lemons" AND WE ADDED SOME SUGAR TO THAT!" I know that's right Tia! 👏🏽❤👏🏽
Yeah!! 😀😀
Tia is so funny. "And added some sugar to it." 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Love her.
Yep 😉
@@TiaMowrysQuickFix Tia You are a phenomenal being. Your spirit and your energy is illuminating and beautiful, and I respect your unwavering steadfastness and your authenticity. Your decision to walk in truth and remain in truth is.. uuhh 😢.. it makes me want to cry because I know it's not always easy. You are your ancestors wildest dreams, and I know they're very proud of you. God bless you and your beautiful family. ✌🏽&❤
Yes
I’m Hispanic and I have to say watching shows full of all ethnic casts were my favorite growing up. I loved seeing brown skin in feel good family shows. Still to this day seeing any shade of brown skin being represented gives me pride.
Me too. It’s all I watch
Yes! 🙌🏽
Couldn’t agree more! 💕
Same here
@VASTFLYER 232•••••••• really? 🤦🏽♀️
The Family Matter's episode with Laura deals with racism, I still cry as an adult watching it. And Eddie dealt with Police brutality. Very powerful television.
Yep! But as kids we may not have understood completely but watching as adults my goodness!
Where are they streaming family matters? I’d love to watch it again!
@@honeybdream hulu
cbon88 Oh ok thanks!
X xx
Tia's laugh is infectious. I smile and laugh when she laughs. Lol. Love her!😁
When Cree was on family reunion and you said to him " you are so cute, You look just like your momma" I laughed so hard.
What episode?
what episode was that?
WHAT EPISODE IS THAT?!
I found the episode guys it’s P2, Episode 5 : Remember when Shaka Got Beat Up? He was SO CUTE! I hope he’s in more episodes
Y’all helped me to see myself when I was a kid and that nothing was wrong with being biracial, we are all made beautifully in our creators eyes and we can shine that light in all the world.
I'm so glad to hear that! ❤️
Yeah she does. Black dont crack.

With all do respect. This is off subject.... But whatever you are going through.... God knows all the details and spiritual battles to serve Him in a fallen world. (He means every word of psalm 23) You and your sister belong to God... And He wants you to live a holy life.... Repent of any sin weather great or small from any time in your life.... God is moving in the spirit and He is calling his people from all walks of life great and small..... I have had a couple of crazy dreams about you through the years and I know it's God grace and mercy keeping you..... Remember who you belong to. I know you have a lot of people Praying for you and God is calling His people to holiness..... He is about to move things around in the spirit and He wants his people ready according to His standard not the world. Be encouraged in the Lord. He loves you more than humanly possible 💕🙏 ...... Please remember we are in a spiritual battle concerning eternity..... Btw may God continue to keep and protect you and open doors of the enemy be closed in Jesus name Amen🙏
Wow just saw Dr Oz video from a month ago..... Be blessed sweet heart 🙏👍

@@damaliirish6966 She is in her forties, and I believe they know that. They were complimenting her, and said she look way younger then that. It seem like they are aware of her current age.
One of many beautiful things about black people is that we are different colors(shades). Our personalities are so vibrant as well.....its really a beautiful thing 😊 great video Tia ❤
Yes but mixed isn’t black
@Arcane Raven you right
All people are all beautiful shades and all people have personalities too so its time to move on from 1619 ffs
@@michellemgbeke2693 She black cut that mess out
My daughter was watching family reunion and she said “I love this episode because it shows her real hair” ❤️
Omg blue looks greattt on u!!! 😊
Black women is the backbone of everything to me. We go thru so much and still stay strong.
@Luna del Rey the truth hurts?
@Luna del Rey A) I’m not the one who said it I’m just replying weirdo and B) I said what I said. Either you’re slow or you comprehend. You seem slow though
It’s true!!!! And if it isn’t then prove it! We don’t say this to bring hate or to be better than anyone it’s just how it is a black woman is POWERFUL AND IT SHOWS! Without explaining it
Woman are stronger then man you guy's are awesome ☺️
Seventeen Again is one of my favorite movies you and Tamera did together. The song Hot Thing playing during the credits was it for me. 😂 and I can't forget you having to lay that girl out after she wouldn't move out of the way. 😂😂
Yes, exactly...it's my favorite movie by/of them too!😍👍😊
The ending credits song “Forever More” omg 😭 I desperately want it released. I used to record it on my flip phones
one of my favorite movies Tia & Tamera did
Yessss
Let’s take a moment to appreciate Tia’s makeup and hair ❤️😭
Tia you’re the only mainstream celebrity that I know who grew up COGIC like myself! 🙌🏾❤️
May I ask what COGIC means?
Church of God in Christ
@@peachxtaehyung church of God in Christ ❤️
@@Amorantasia1 oh I've never heard of that. I've heard of churches like Church of God or Church of Latter Day Saints and stuff like that but not church of God in christ
the Clark sisters grew up COGIC too!
Never watched FRIENDS couldnt relate to it and I hate how I always see FRIENDS has so much merch out there...I watched Sister Sister because as a person of color, I related more to them!!! I need Sister Sister to get more praise 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌❤❤❤❤
friends tv show was so white, that wasn't realistic. people go get coffee and see all kinds of people, but that show's coffee place was super white.
Yesss ! Sister, sister and Girlfriends ! I want merch from both of those shows... portraying young, educated, beautiful African American women in the most positive light ! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽. Sex and the city who??? 🙅🏽♀️😂😂
Not a fan of friends either.
I never watched Friends either. The creators plagiarized the concept of Friends from our show Living Single and took off. My twin sister and myself looooved watching Sister Sister and seeing Twins of color instead of Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen
FRIENDS was bigger internationally and was easier for people over 25 to watch. I'm not white and yet I watched FRIENDS. I'm not black and I watched The Cosby Show, Sister, Sister, Webster, Different strokes.
Me and my twin sister were Tia and Tamara for Halloween 😭🤚🏽
Awwww... That's so cute! 🥰🥰
Go Twitches!!!💫🍂🔮 That’s so fantastically cool!!!
I wanted to do that with my twin sister but she didn't want to do it,but if she did I would be Tamera because I'm like Tamera.
I am a Mexican guy that was like Roger... I was in love with you, I am still watching your show with my kids, even my wife told me that it was her favorite show because of the values that was founded on.
I honestly feel like I know you and your sister personally. Y'all were a major influence in my childhood, love you ladies!!!! Thanks for sharing your story!!!
as a young black woman, hearing you talk about having to work twice as hard to get half as much and seeing how successful and hardworking you are today is so inspiring! plus there was history lesson for those who didn’t know! i’m definitely coming back to this video when i need inspiration! ✊🏾❤️
🙌🏽❤️

Our parents were stationed together at Ft Hood. My dad (stamm) always spoke so highly of your parents and how they raised you all and it shows. Youre all beautiful inside and out. Gives me hope for my biracial daughter ❤️
Tia & Tamera can do no wrong in my eyes! Like, this is how REAL role models present themselves
Absolutely
This made me cry. I hate that you, or anyone, would be treated differently or poorly simply because the color of your skin is different than whoever’s is in charge at the time. Thank you so much for sharing your story Tia! I’ve always enjoyed your work. You’re such a beautiful soul! ❤️
PS - my mom and I love making the different hot chocolates you shared on your cooking show! So delicious! 😃☕️
I may not be black, but I really do enjoy everything you've done on TV. I love the bonds that are shown and I love that the things you talk about are very real.
Aww Tía the true pretty queen 👑 will always make me smile 😃
I know right she is something special
@Hunnish Runnish 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I grew up always surrounded by different ethnicities and in reality I’m grateful in many ways but I also then had no idea about racism and white privilege for most my life. It’s shocking to me how naive I was. I’m sorry this happens still to this day and all I can do is continue to educate myself. Thank you👏🏼
Someone I knew said something like that to me before they said “you sound white” or “you act white” and I’m like how can you act a skin color that makes no sense so ofc inside it made me wanna do better but I really didn’t need to
People have said that to me my entire life. It's so frustrating but its ignorance.
The sad part about it it’s always usually other black people who say that. I’ve always gotten the, “you act white”, or “you do white people stuff” from black people. It’s sad being different and not like the “typical” black person they expect you to be is considered acting white. Ignorant, and a shameful thing to say.
@@simplymonica6888 yeah it really is someone even called me Oreo before
I hated hearing that growing up!
I get that now and I'm an adult
Sister Sister was the FIRST show that I saw that had black girls that look like me. Thank you Tia and your equally amazing sister, Tamera! You ladies gave me my love of film and TV and this is why I have chosen to become a filmmaker to continue to make more shows and films for the Black community! Also, I watch Seventeen Again like every day too!!! 😆😊😊
Tia you look absolutely beautiful! This blue is so stunning on you :)
“Sister Sister” is trending on Netflix here in Canada.. I’m on Season 3!!! #SnowedIn #Bingwatching #Memorylane101 #Awesomeness
Hi Fellow knack, am in Alberta 🇨🇦 . I watched it in bits in high school but now I catching up ❤️🥂
@@amanlizamasha1937 hello my fellow knack knack ... 🥂 enjoy the show!
Watching Sister, Sister was one of the shows that made me want to become an actress. After HS I tried to get into the scene, but the competition was fierce, and without the funds and transportation, even worse. Now as a mom of two, I fell like that ship has sailed and like I missed out on my dream. But watching the success of my favorite actresses makes me happy, especially minority actresses. ❤
It's never too late.
Never too late... Go for it!!! ❣❣❣
Go for it! Even if its local theatre or tv advertisements. Live your passion. Find a way to live out your dream! 🤗
Im almost rchg 40yrs old, went back to school to obtain diploma from local polytechnic (pre-university). I felt so great even thou i have not graduate. Yet. One of d best feelings in my life i cannot stop being grateful for. Please please never stop striving for your dream. U can do it! ❤
Yes yes...your show inspired me to love my hair. I am 38 now, and I still look forward to your growth as a person, you and your sister are an inspiration to women and young girls. ❤😚👌
I’m currently rewatching sister sister rn and am on season 6! And WOW! I forgot how amazing it was! Especially the representation and the subjects that the show touches on it’s truly a masterpiece!
I completely respect what you've been through and how hard you had to work. The only thing is I don't see why there is a issue with calling biracial women biracial. As a dark skin black woman I've also experienced many of the issues you are talking about but we have to acknowledge that there is a difference in treatment between biracial women and black women (especially those of a darker complexion). For a long time in Hollywood biracial and light skin women were the main representation for black women. Acknowledging the harsher reality that is placed on dark skin women doesn't take away from any biracial or light skin woman's experience.
Yes!! So happy that someone brought that up. The video & comments kinda made me cringe
@@hafsah5239 u not black then u don’t understand what we go through there is a saying The Lighter the brighter the better
@@hafsah5239 society doesn’t see you as black.
Colorism is real. I know it. You know it. Tia knows it. etc... that's not what this video was about. This video talked about her experience as a black girl growing up in the movie industry. We know that different shades get treated from less bad to real bad... but the point is that we all get treated bad. Yes, she is biracial (black and white). The world, and especially, the movie industry never saw her as white. She is allowed to claim her "black" side just as much as any darker-skinned woman. Who are we to tell someone what is offensive or not? Black comes in all shades.
H J...she knows what she is. I know you think your comment is helpful, but it doesn't acknowledge reality or history at all. I can tell Tia (having a dark skin black mother) is very aware of the treatment of black woman vs biracial. She is not pretending to deny this. Tia and I are around the same age (though I don't know her personally) so I feel like I can speak to this. When we were growing up...there was no distinction for biracial (if you were mixed with black and white). Being mixed with black and white was the worse thing ever to society. Society hated black people that much. They hated them so much that they felt that if you were a white person that had a child with a black person that automatically tainted the white blood...so you couldn't claim half white. You would be just seen as black. You were not treated any differently.
Biracial people didn't get special treatment (maybe in some circumstances) but for the most part they weren't treated differently or better. I knew plenty of biracial people growin up (family friends and in my own family) and they were just black. Referring to yourself as biracial wasn't even a thought. Everyone saw them the same and they saw themselves as the same...especially if the mother was black. Usually, biracial people are socialized black when they have black mothers. In some cases, the white fathers abandoned the kids anyway...so that's all people knew were their black side. Tia is from that era. It's more of a Gen Z thing now where people want to claim every little thing they are. That's a very new concept. I don't anticipate Tia changing how she sees herself. She knows who she is and how she identifies..she's been doing it for 43 years. I think she is fine.
This was so deeply moving and powerfully real at the same time, thank you Tia for sharing your story and journey thus far. While, also giving wisdom and inspirational words as well. #ForeverYourFan 💛💛💛
Tia gives me hope when I’m at my worst. She is so genuine and gorgeous
I stan a QUEEN 👑😩😭💘👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Tia has ALWAYS represented ✊🏽💘
Tia and Tamara are younger than me but my kids LOVED twitches. Now my 50+ yr self watch it every Halloween LOL Anywho Be blessed everyone !
I live in the South Africa and I used to watch Sister, Sister growing up. "Sister, Sister... I got my own mind..." I loved your show! It aired in South Africa in the early 2000s.
Mma Kepadisa, dumelang and it was aparheid back then. let that sink in for min,
@Barbara Van der Westhuizen South Africa’s first democratic elections were held in 1994.
@Barbara Van der Westhuizen yet the terrorism of the indigenous people continues to reigns supreme
Absolutely loved this video Tia! These type of conversations need to be discussed more. You are such a wonderful role model 💖
Yes Tia; we need to stop buying into the stereotypes.
My Nephew: is that one of the sisters from that show you been watching
Me: YES that’s Tia O.o
Him: she still looks good I’m impressed.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
She look fantastic😘
😭 how old is your nephew he too much 😄
I have this talk with my daughter lol! They know Tia from Family Reunion tho lol so I introduced my kids to other shows/movies and ask how do you know which one is which 🤍
Tia, I'm glad you discussed your journey in television! It was EYE opening👀 I give you credit for always putting your authentic stamp on characters. I'm glad for the awareness you brought to how the producers asked you to behave a certain way on camera. I wish you would do some type of panel with ordinary people & allowing them to discuss their struggles & treatment in the work place. Great job & I really enjoyed this episode!!👌🏼👌🏼
Fun fact: Tia always makes our day 1000x better!!💖
I create vidz 🥰
Ooooo I think I’m going to subscribe
Love you Tia . I hope they choose you to be Kamala if they ever do a movie on her.
Sister sister was one of the few shows that gave my childhood pure joy. You guys are truly phenomenal! Thank you for the joy you gave us!!
I grew up watching Sister Sister. Great memories 💖💖
Omg I’m crying!!!!😭 I just talked to one of my nursing instructors that’s about this, I keep saying I’m giving my all and I don’t feel like I’m being seen like everyone else and it really broke me to my core because I know I’m a damn good worker. And her works to me was “trust me your personality will shine throw”. I thank you for making this video it did something for me to keep going!!! ❤️
Family Matters was the funniest and one of the greatest!!!
I love you and your sister so much. God kept you and your sister through that foolishness. God saw y’all suffering through that but, yet and still he blessed y’all. That is why y’all are strong young women. I pray that God keep you and your sister.
Forever my favorite twin, such class, beauty, style, and intelligence. Huge fan Tia!
Sister Sister was my literal childhood. So pleased that it's on Netflix UK now. I'm watching it from the beginning and can't believe how much I remember everything about the episodes (including the words) even though I probably haven't watched it regularly for 20 years. Such a cliché but when you watch/do something again from childhood, you realise how much it shaped you as a person, especially in your formative years. When I'm watching it, I think "Wow that's why I like that/wear that/think that/say that". You are such an amazing, beautiful woman Tia! Thank you for the memories 😘🥰 xxx
You and Tamera were my role models back then and even until now! 🙏 You are classy, hard-working, resilient and have good morals. I respect you so much fir always staying true to who you are and I thank you for talking about this important topic. ❤ Also, currently rewatching Sister Sister and you haven't aged one bit!!!! 😭
This one hit differently. well-spoken, and all facts.
Tia how come you never mention Seventeen Again?!? I LOVE that movie! To this day!
🗣To this day
Dang I forgot about that movie, i gotta watch it now
YESSSS
TUH DIS DAYYYYY🤣🤣 but no really, I love it🥰
Yesssssss
SISTER SISTER, you and your sister really represented me, your upbringing in the church and everything there after in adulthood is mirror of my upbringing, so grateful this show was around because you made being smart, curly haired or coilly hair in my case, a God-fearing kid cool, watching your show now on netflix brings it all back to me, i love it, thank you
You are just goals ❤️
So amazing and inspiring, been a fan since age 8, currently 28.
Love the Mowry family! Always been a shining example in Hollywood. Have always been classy, smart and great. Never compromised their integrity.
we come in so many shades! my daughter has two black parents and she is light skin, it is discouraging hearing my grandmother in law call her a "white baby" and very offensive. My side of the family is full of biracials and my in laws aren't, I don't understand how people can immediately label us by looking at our shade. its, very scary. and it still exist today. Back to the main topic at hand, I enjoyed this video! I am happy you spoke about this!
My family loves Family Reunion! Its one of very few shows that pulls us all in. Its the black history lessons, the nostalgic moments with Grandma, Grandpa, Auntie, and cousins, the realistic relationship between a husband and wife trying to find balance between youth and responsibilities while raising kids, and it has kid friendly language. Its everything about the show! Thanks for another great show! 👏🏾🖤😁✊🏾
Im so addicted to you and your sister show sister sister "sister sister ,sister sister I've got my own mind ,I do my own style at my own time, and now that everybody see how different we have come to be, sister sister
Even though I am glad to be with ya I gotta do what’s good for me like you got to do what’s right for you

Thank you Ms. Mowry; Mrs. Hardrict for your contribution to our heritage. Your show was one of the bright spots in my life and even for my children. Your show was wholesome, funny, just easy and a treat for the whole family. It's one of those shows that still put a smile on my face to watch it today! Thank you and your sister and the whole crew again! BTW, does your husband have family in the East Chicago area; I believe we may be related somewhere. I remember my dad introducing me to some people I believe were our cousins...John Hardrict, John Hardrict Jr., Butch Hardrict, etc.
I grew up watching you and you are right about us having that praying grandmother God bless you Tia❤
Hi Tia! Thank you for sharing with us. My 13 year old daughter is an aspiring actress/singer, so this information was helpful. Also, my children love to watch Sister Sister and they have been binge watching every night. Family Reunion is a family favorite and I have also introduced my children to Family Matters 😃Thank you for your sweet spirit and laughter. Blessings to you and your lovely family 🙏🏾
It's hard being a woman. It's even harder being a woman of colour
It's a Superpower!
Now look at us Vice Presidents and things 😊😁😊😁😊😊😊
True
True dat
Harder being a *Black woman.
The Best Speaks I Have ever heard and I am 64. I have 7 mixed Grandkids and I save this for them. Thank You Young Lady so much.
I've heard people say "your not black enough" and it breaks my heart😢💔
Bi racial playa
I agree. It nobody's place to tell her that she isnt Black enough. Just disgusting! She was my idle back in the day, and being from Texas has a lot to do with it. 😆
if u mixed u mixed like have 2 black parents u real black she is not black enough or white enough she mixed. PERIOD
said that way its wrong but really and truly she is not a black woman. she is just "graded" as one because of the hypodescent rule and criteria of physical similarity
@@Charnaniganss I woukd NEVER understand why some black americans don't realize to have black children it takes 2 black people!! In a nutshell, I agree with you.
So grateful for you and your family that have broken barriers! My son is watching sister sister now in netflix, I told him I grew up watching it and now he is enyoing it so much! Keep beiung YOU👸🏻 a Queen
When I worked at Disney my manager said my hair was “wild” 😟
It’s the nerve for me 🙄 they tried it
i believe this 100% then even in France you hear managers say this to black girls. its documented plenty on youtube
Hi Tia I am white but darker at the same time and I am your biggest fan I am so glad that you talked about this even though I have not experienced this because I am white you inspire me and I am glad you are where you are because you are strong and fearless if I were you I would be happy with the person I have became.
Hi Tia, thank you for your video. I'm a white woman who grew up in England. I grew up watching Sister Sister (10 years old) and it didn't strike me that I was watching a black family, in that I didn't see a difference in skin colour. When I watched the recording of George Floyd saying 'I can't breath' over and over, I was crying (and the tears are rolling now as I type this). Why isn't everyone colour blind? God Bless you, your family and friends xx
I understand your perspective. I don’t think people should be color blind though. I want people to acknowledge that I am black and different, but still respect me as a human being❤️
@@SheaBae31 That is a very interesting way of looking at it, thank you 🙂. I was meaning to not judge people based on the colour of their skin x
I'm white too and watched all the tv shows with black people and never though we were different just great shows and I'm 62years now ❤
I grew up the same as you Andrea, it was perhaps a bit naive, but how lucky were we to have that blissful ignorance over what we know now. The things my partner tells me about growing up black in the same place I grew up, well among other things it makes me scared for if we ever have children, oh and the stories from some of my Asian girlfriends too, its absolutely heartbreaking and disgusting. I was taught as a kid that you treat others how you want to be treated yourself and with Tv like this honestly I just never thought much about their appearance other than they were beautiful, I wanted their clothes and why didn't my curly hair wasn't as nice as theirs haha. They were girls my age, and the show was smart and funny and relatable.
Hi, Tia
I am currently rewatching Sister Sister on Netflix and I find myself falling in love with it all over again. I was 9years old when I first started watching it back in the days and my mom and I loved it so so much. She thought you guys were stunning and such an inspiration for little girls growing up.
Thank you for being a part of my childhood. I wish you the very best!❤️
Love from Botswana, Africa
I’ve been binge watching Smart Guy and Everybody Hates Chris with my sons. Family Matters is a good idea. I also binge The Game and need to get Netflix back so that I can binge Sister Sister, Family Reunion, and Girlfriends. So disappointed that Sister Sister isn’t on Disney+ or Hulu.
In that one part you got emotional, I found myself getting emotional. I know for me growing up in the 90's SisterSister got me through my childhood especially coming from an abusive home, and dealing with bullying an so many other things it was good seeing the Show conquer so many topics such as Racism, an so much great stuff. I look up to you and Tamera so much your definitely great positive light on the screen. Being a light in the darkness, great inspiration.
"I never knew." People who say this, do they live under a rock? Rodney King beating happened in the early 1990s. Smh
It's never too late to learn. My mum still doesn't know about the struggle of being a minority even though she stands up for illegal immigrants from Africa. I try to educate my family but when you're blinded by a certain idea it's hard being in somebody else's shoes. I'm hopeful that the next generation will be more tolerant and educated
Yeah and it's possible that their parents hid that as best as they could from them. They were still kids after all, I was really little when it happened and if it wasn't the fact it was talked about constantly in my environment, I wouldn't have known either til later. Moral of the story, try not to judge based on your perception.
@@queen_martian Same here I too learned, about the Rodney King disturbing incident as I got older like a lot of tragedies such as this. That occurred when I was younger I didn’t know about till I got older. I was sheltered as a child and structured but somewhat aware even if I couldn’t articulate how I felt, at the time of being a kid/teen.
People see it but they turn a blind eye to it because it doesn’t effect them.
Right!!! Like how didn’t you know. It’s that they didn’t care and only worried bout their bubble. Smh
Wow Tia!! Thank you for speaking out, sharing your story and using this platform to share what it's like in Hollywood.

I actually would recommend this video for those who want to know more about being in the entertainment industry. This is for educational purposes only. This is something that I needed to hear at a time like this. This is why I knew from a critical young age that I would be still looking up to you today. No matter what my circumstances were around me; being molested, physical & mentally abused, I had to embrace that kindred spirit & keep my head up and my heart strong. You really change my life #TiaMowry'sQuickFix 😪👏🏼 I could've turned out to be like every other abused victims who turn to drugs and alcohol as a need to escape their suffering, and surprisingly -- I never did. *Because I'm a hard freaking worker in my own right.* Thank you Tia 👐🏼 @Tia Mowry's Quick Fix
Tia you are such a humble beautiful person and you sharing what you have went through is motivation to others thank you for being you❤️❤️!!
This video almost made me cry. Hell, it did! Awesome video.
Thank you for sharing your story, It was very enlighting. Many who have become successful, don't like sharing how they got there. Stories like yours helps me and others to know that we can do it as well. Tia, continue to be blessed..
Omg this is why I love Tia so much 💕😍
I'm currently on season five of "Sister, Sister" ( I've seen the show before but I've never seen all the episodes) but I always wondered why you and Tamera started wearing your hair straight. I never knew it was an insecurity and you did it to feel a certain way. I just love how inspiring you and your sister are and that you're aware of these things and want to share them with us, especially since a lot of people will speak negatively. I'm 13 now and " Sister, Sister" has I inspired me to let loose and not always be uptight sometimes. You can make mistakes and it's okay, also do Cree and Cairo watch " Sister, Sister"?💞💞💞
Love Tia 💕. She is so real and seems so genuine.
Facts or undeniable facts?...it's great that Tia is talking about this as how one grows up definitely shapes up part of your personality as an adult. And having children it will make you realise how strategic you have to be to ensure they are well balanced...etc
I really admire you Tia for being the strong black woman and I love you for that and I really really admire you so much dear for being brave and very supportive and always advising us on your channel God bless you.
When he watches your work, maybe your son is looking for the "version" of you that he recognizes and so your more recent projects resonate more with him right now? Once he gets older, he'll be more curious about you and your sister's lives before motherhood and he'll appreciate being able to go back and see the older stuff.
Wow, you have always presented yourself with such grace, honesty and dignity! You also have an infectious hilarious laugh! I always wanna laugh after hearing you crack up!!! LOL!!! P.S. I've been binge watching Sister Sister and enjoying every episode.....and I'm 62 yrs old!!!!

Thank you for sharing this with us. So many people had no clue of the privilege they were afforded. I'm sure whoever did your show didn't charge a black discount for the commercials we watched waiting to tune into your show! These things are so sad. I remember getting paid $1 less per hour and HR thought I'd was ok because it was a man. I should have quit right then. We have to take pride and take up for ourselves. We love you Tia! 💪🏼💪🏾💪🏽💪🏿❤️😘
You have have helped so many women , you are a Beautiful person and your sister. The beauty from your heart shows on th out side.
Greetings Tia, putting some sugar in my lemon aid, and that color blue is magic on you Sis.
Thanks for sharing! I grew up in the 90s and yes seeing shows like urs and the Cosby show and the fresh Prince influenced my joy in representing my cultural heritage
Early love you Tia hope you see these ur daughter is so cute and you are the best mom ever keep up ur work 💗💗
I used to dream about being on tv as a kid in the 90s and I still to this day look up to you and your sister. I’m finally pursuing my dreams later in life as an adult. Sometimes I wish I started sooner, but I’m grateful regardless because God is always on time. Who knows if I could’ve handled being an actor at such a young age. I admire you and your sister for persevering, being great and not letting the naysayers get you down.
Love Tia.. She's amazing.
go head Tia we love u .....were so proud of you and your family, your honesty , your desire to educate and uplift our ppl,,..thank you
