Tired of people distorting the narrative of her relationships and life; Tia is removing the filter like never before. Tia Mowry has spent her whole life as part of a duo. First, entering the world, growing up with and then working with her twin sister Tamera; then spending nearly 20 years with her ex-husband. Recently divorced, for the first time in her life, she is truly experiencing what life is like on her own both personally and professionally.
In each episode, the series delivers unprecedented access to behind-the-scenes ongoings of Tia’s multifaceted life. We’ll join her as she navigates her newly single status, motherhood, building businesses and juggling her super busy and ever-evolving career. Tia is ready to date, take her multiple businesses to the next level, and discover what makes her happy. With this exciting new chapter comes profound changes and adjustments to the roles Tia plays in her everyday life, and her next act.

She has published several books including her second cookbook, “The Quick Fix Kitchen.” Her new hair care line, 4U is available in Walmart stores nationwide. Mowry has over 25 million social media followers.
“I am excited to share more about myself, both personally and professionally. Having been in the public eye for most my life, things often get misinterpreted, or people get misled. I am excited to pull back the curtain on this next chapter of my life,” said Mowry.
