Walking In Her Truth
Since their rise to popularity on the classic 90’s sitcom Sister Sister Tia and Tamera Mowry have remained a vibrant presence for the culture. And fortunately after Sister Sister ended they’ve both moved onto greater success. Tia famously starred on the popular series The Game while Tamera secured a job as one of the co-hosts of daytime television staple The Real. Tia and Tamera have always been outspoken, especially when it comes to discussing topics that would make other people very uncomfortable. For example, in an exclusive interview released to her YouTube channel Tia opened up about how racism remains a constant presence in her life. First she spoke about how her parents, Darlene and Timothy, literally grew up on different sides of the tracks in their hometown Miami. However, that never stopped their friendship from blossoming into real love.
My mom was on one side of the town. And my dad was on the other side of the town. And he said there was a railroad track that would kinda separate the two towns. Now, my dad lived over in an area, it was a little segregated, where there was predominantly a lot of white people and my mom lived in an area where there was predominantly all black people. And my dad would always go over there, on the other side.
