Tia Mowry-Hardrict, also credited as Tia Mowry, is an American actress and model.
She was born in Germany, while her parents served in the U.S. army. Her father, Timothy John Mowry, who is from Worcester, Massachusetts, is white, and has Irish, and smaller amounts of English and Scottish, ancestry. Her mother, Darlene Renee Flowers, who is from Miami, Florida, is black, of African-Bahamian descent. Her father was later a custody officer and jailer in Glendale, California, where the family moved. Her siblings are her twin Tamera Mowry-Housley, and younger brothers Tavior and Tahj Mowry. Tia has two children with her former husband, actor Cory Hardrict.
Tia’s patrilineal line can be traced to Roger Mowrey, who was born, c. 1610, in Herne Hill, London, Middlesex, England.
Tia’s paternal grandfather was Mahlon Henry Mowry (the son of George Rodney Mowry and Isabella/Isabel/Isabelle May Ferguson). Mahlon was born in Providence, Providence Co., Rhode Island. George was the son of George McKay Mowry and Sarah Jane Crocker, who was born in New Brunswick, Canada, to an Irish mother. Tia’s great-great-great-grandfather, Russell Mowry, had three grandparents surnamed Mowry. Tia’s great-grandmother Isabelle was the daughter of William Ferguson, who was from Vermont, and of Mary Gleason, who was Irish.
Tia’s paternal grandmother was Bernice I. O’Halloran (the daughter of Thomas Francis O’Halloran and Mary Lillian McLachlan/McLachlen). Bernice was born in Massachusetts, to parents who were born in Providence, Providence Co., Rhode Island. Thomas was the son of Irish parents, John J. O’Halloran and Bridget Ryan. Mary was the daughter of John McLachlan, who was born in Canada, to an Irish mother; and of Emma Vigeant/Vigant, whose father was from Vermont and whose mother was Canadian.
Tia’s maternal grandfather was named James Calhoun Richardson.
Tia’s maternal grandmother was Cloretha/Cloreta/Clo Flowers (the daughter of Rolly/Rolle “Raleigh”/Riley/Raliegh Flowers and Cecelia/Cecile Campbell). Cloretha was born in Perrine, Miami-Dade, Florida, to Bahamian parents. Rolly was born on Andros Island, and was possibly the son of Joshua Cuthbert Flowers, from Exuma, and of Christiana Monica Hall. Joshua’s mother’s family, the Rolles, were owned by John Rolle, 1st Baron Rolle, on whose estate a significant slave rebellion occured in 1830. Tia’s great-grandmother Cecelia was born on Tarpum Bay, Eleuthera Island.
A DNA test whose results were displayed on the show The Real (2016) stated that Tia’s sister, Tamera’s, genetic ancestry is:
*53% European
——–*21% British

*45% Sub-Saharan African
——–*22% Ivory Coast and Ghana
——–*10% Cameroon and Congo
——–*9% Mali
——–*4% other African
Tia’s sister Tamera has also said that she has over 40% “English & Irish” ancestry.
A DNA test whose results were displayed on the show Finding Your Roots with Henry Louis Gates, Jr. (2023) stated that Tia’s sister Tamera’s genetic ancestry consists of:
*24% Scotland
*17% Cameroon, Congo, & Western Bantu

Biracial people need their own category. This black by default thing keeps the one drop rule alive in modern day society. And the black people that stupidly accept biracial people should know that is a big mistake. Theirs a reason why lots of cultures traditionally rejected half cast children because such a person has two cultures & can’t be relied up on to preserve theirs & their continued existence & claiming their culture will breed confusing & with time such people will lead to a loss of their identity. Like I saw on her show The Real, she was defending blue eyed, blonde Paris Jackson who says she’s black & she said she also has a blonde haired, pale son who she tells that he’s black..she’s biracial, has a son with a white man & says her son is black..continue that for the next couple of generations & black people will be extinct
QUOte(Biracial people need their own category)
It want work. First like everyone else Bi-racial people are not the same. You have all kinds of combos of Bi-racial people, you would have to give each one a category. Then what about people who are Triracial, or who have four bloodlines, why not give them a category. The only thing that’s going to happen, is another caste system(they’ve worked out so well). All that does is cause more animosity. How about we just stop the categories period?
Quote (This black by default thing keeps the one drop rule alive in modern day society.)
No the whole category system period , is what causes problems. Also people being intolerant of other people. Also even when the one drop rule was in force, it never was really enforced. No one is going around telling someone you better say you’re black or else. People say their black, because that’s the way they feel or see themself
Quote( And the black people that stupidly accept biracial people should know that is a big mistake.)
A big mistake? So what am I supposed to do with all my family members who are Bi-racial? Am I supposed to stop loving them, and push them away because they have a (white, Filipino, Korean, Mexican, Puerto rican , Salvadoran, etc parent). No that’s the very intolerance I’m talking about. Some mulattoes have been great champions for black people(Frederick Douglass,Mary Ellen Pleasant etc.)
Quote(Theirs a reason why lots of cultures traditionally rejected half cast children )
Well in my opinion it’s called stupidity, and all their doing is breeding more hatred
Quote( because such a person has two cultures & can’t be relied up on to preserve theirs & their continued existence & claiming their culture will breed confusing & with time such people will lead to a loss of their identity.)
I don’t agree at all. First you have people who are full blooded who can’t be relied on to preserve things. Secondly, you don’t know all bi-racial people, how they think or what they’re going to do. They may be the best thing for your family, if you ever gave them a chance. Everything you’re saying, is based on a unfounded opinion
Quote(Like I saw on her show The Real, she was defending blue eyed, blonde Paris Jackson who says she’s black & she said she also has a blonde haired, pale son who she tells that he’s black..she’s biracial, has a son with a white man & says her son is black..continue that for the next couple of generations & black people will be extinct)
Well, I don’t know if Paris is part black or not. However I’m pretty sure black people want go extinct. As you pointed out,Maybe in the Jackson family, but not black people as a whole
seems to be a lot of interracial relations going on in the US military…
i love birracial girls
Thanks.
there the hottest especially Italians
LOL
Especially Italian Fathers and Black Mothers
What an idiot. All mulattoes look the same, it doesn’t matter which parent is white. Your logic is stupid as f*ck.
Looks Habesha.
