Tia Mowry was born in Gelhausin, Germany, to retired military parents. At 14, she decided to take on the entertainment world. In 1993, when she and her family took the big leap and moved to California, Mowry and her twin sister, Tamera, landed the series "Sister, Sister." The show aired for six seasons and went on to win two NAACP Image Awards and four Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards.
Recently, Mowry worked with her sister Tamera again in a Disney Channel original movie, "Twitches." She recently finished production on the movie "American Standards," opposite James Brolin. Off camera, she is the voice of Sasha, one of the stars of the animated series "Bratz" which follows the adventures of the fashion dolls.
In her spare time, Mowry involves herself in many charities such as the Make-A-Wish Foundation, the Elizabeth Glazer Pediatric Aids Foundation and others focusing on research for children fighting cancers.
Mowry is a graduate of Pepperdine University where she studied Psychology. She also studied humanities and Italian in Europe for several months.
She now lives in Los Angeles with her teacup Chihuahua, Chico.
