‘One of the Best TV Mother Daughter Duos to Ever Do it’: Tia Mowry Reunites with Her TV Mom Jackée Harry for Netflix’s ‘Family Reunion’ 

Tia Mowry first gained recognition in the entertainment industry for her role in the hit sitcom “Sister, Sister.” 

In the show, Mowry — who starred alongside Jackée Harry, Tim Reid, and her twin sister Tamera Mowry — played a teen reunited with her long-lost twin at a mall after the pair were separated at birth and adopted by different parents. In the series, Mowry portrayed the role of Harry’s daughter Tia Landry. “Sister, Sister” aired from 1994 to 1999.

Mowry shared present-day and throwback images of her and Harry in the Instagram post. In addition to the photos, the actress also uploaded a video featuring Harry, Loretta Devine, Essence Atkins, and Thelma Hopkins. 

In the clip, the pair discussed how long it’s been since they shot “Sister, Sister.” Harry asked, “How long has it been since we did ‘Sister, Sister?'” While trying to remember the exact year, Mowry answered, “It would have to have been what over 27 years.” Following Mowry’s response, the 65-year-old quipped, “that’s how long it’s been.” 

The video continued with Mowry and Harry raving about how good they both look despite the many years. Mowry then asked Harry when they shot the series pilot. She said, “When did we shoot the pilot? Was it 1992, 1993?” Harry responded “1993” after recounting her 1996 marriage to Elgin Charles Williams. 

The recording ends with the duo revealing they sold the series to Paramount studios. Mowry captioned the post, “It’s a 90’s reunion! Some things never change! Love my @jackeeharry now AND then! Ps – HEY @lodivadivine, @telma_hopkins, @essence_says!”

As fans viewed the upload, many expressed how overjoyed they were to see Mowry and Harry reunite. One individual mentioned the reunion brought back “so many memories.”

“One of the best tv mother daughter duos to ever do it!”

“My Heart!!! Sister Sister was my show! Brings back so many memories.” 

“Omg I am getting Sister Sister vibes. My heart is melting. Love you guys.”

“I know lots of people say it, but there’s nothing like nostalgia. ‘Sister, Sister’ was and IS the best show ever have rewatched it all on Netflix and still remembered every episode and most of the words.”

“Words can’t explain how much I love this!”

Among the previous remarks, others brought up how happy they were to see Mowry and Harry’s friendship blossom off-screen. One wrote,”It’s so special to see you guys’ relationships still blossoming after all these years.”

Another said, “God is good! You all look so beautiful, unchanged, healthy, and prosperous. So happy to see you all so far removed from Sister-Sister yet still bringing that family vibe of love and friendship to us all!”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
