Her reality show “Tia & Tamera”, where she starred alongside her twin sister Tia was also a huge hit. This is the best show they ever had because it gained the most popularity dues to their funny personalities.

Early years

She was born as Tamera Darvette Mowry on July 6, 1978, in the town of Gelnhausen, located in the Western part of Germany, in Europe.

She said that no one believes that they were born in Germany because they are African. They don’t speak too much German as they work mostly in English.

She is of mixed descent since her mother Darlene has roots in Africa and Bahamas and her father Timothy originates from England. This is a combination that ended up in beautiful looks for both twins and that’s also what made them pretty popular today.

The family resided in Germany because her father was a member of the military and was deployed there. Tamera said that her childhood was great because of her great mom, but she said that she missed her father.

Tamera has three siblings. Her twin sister Tia is two minutes younger than her and they are very closely connected.

They often joke about this because people ask them who is smarter or prettier and they always say that the older one must be the smarter one because age equals wisdom.

She also has two younger brothers named Tahj and Tavior. Many people ask them whether their parents give them names that start with the same letters on purpose or not, but they don’t know.

Their parents became Christians after the birth of the children so Tamera became born-again Christian at the age of eight. Religion played a huge role in her life, especially when she had a hard time later.

It was in 1990 that Tamera started believing that her dreams will come true. It was when she and Tia convinced her parents to move to the United States and they did. She said that she loves living in America and that this place is the place where she wants to be.

Tamera’s parents recognized her wish (and the wish of her twin sister Tamera) to make a career in acting and entertainment so the whole family relocated from Germany to California in order to give it a try.

She was a student at the Birmingham High School located in Los Angeles. She was always a pretty good student and most of the time she was invested in school more than your average kid.

After successfully graduating from high school she enrolled at the Pepperdine University in California. She finished it in due time. She said that it was hard, but she was very determined to succeed.
