Tia Mowry<\/a><\/strong> is opening up about growing up biracial<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Taking to Instagram with a picture of her and twin Tamera Mowry<\/a><\/strong> posing on the red carpet with their mother Darlene Mowry<\/strong>, the Sister, Sister<\/em> star reflected on the “privilege”<\/a> she had witnessed her father Timothy Mowry<\/strong> experience in comparison to her mom. <\/p>\n

“Growing up #biracial, mom is black and dad is white, it was very clear to me seeing the #privilege that my dad had as opposed to my #mother,” she wrote. “Some examples, during our #sistersister days when traveling for work we would often fly first class. There were several times my mother was asked if she was in the right seat.”<\/p>\n

Tia continued, “Another incident that stood out for me was when we were buying our first home as a family. My mother walked in the house model with us asking for a brochure. A person had said the houses were sold out. My dad walked in and it was a different story.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Concluding her post on an uplifting note, The Game<\/em> alum shared that, in spite of recent events, she remains hopeful that change is coming.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

“My #goal is to see #change,” she said. “This year has been a tough year. Several tears have been shed. However, a friend told me these tears will not be wasted. The #love and #support around the world has kept me going. A #change is gonna come.”<\/p>\n

In the wake of George Floyd<\/strong>‘s death<\/a>, Tia has been using her platform to provide resources for fans to take action against injustice. And on Wednesday, she said that she’s made a point to prioritize the celebration of black entertainment with her family. “This week through the weekend I will be introducing my children to some amazing movies and television shows with an all black- cast,” she shared<\/a>, along with a picture of The Wiz<\/em>‘s movie poster.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

For her part, Tamera has also taken to social media with empowering words of her own.<\/p>\n

Sharing a quote that reads, “You are important. You matter. You are strong,” The Real <\/em>co-host wrote<\/a>, “‘It is not possible to be in favor of justice for some people and not be in favor of justice for all people.’ \u2014 Martin Luther King Jr<\/strong>. My Lord. My heart aches for everything that is going on in our country right now. 2020 has been one hell of a year so far.”<\/p>\n

“E! stands in solidarity with the black community against systemic racism and oppression experienced every day in America,” the network said in a statement<\/a> on May 31. “We owe it to our black staff, talent, production partners and viewers to demand change and accountability. To be silent is to be complicit. #BlackLivesMatter.”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
