Tia has been happily married for the past eleven years to actor Cory Hardrict. However, she’s only now speaking out about the difference between being raised by a white man and raising a child with a black man.  Baller Alert reports;

“So my dad, I didn’t experience racism with him. But now I’m living in a household where my husband is Black. The racism I experience with him is mind-blowing. I had to learn how to adapt to seeing my husband get questioned about buying something very expensive. My husband was walking into a pharmacy, and he had on a backpack. And a security guard is questioning him and eyeing him down. I didn’t grow up with that sort of behavior living with a male figure.” The actress says she’s even began discussing race with her son Cree.
