'Her words have inspired me greatly': Tia Mowry pays heartfelt tribute to co-star Sheryl Lee Ralph

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Tia Mowry paid tribute to her senior star Sheryl Lee Ralph with whom she worked together in the ‘Instant Mom.’

In the clip she posted on her social media, Mowry shared a behind-the-scenes look at her morning routine. In the background music, she used Ralph’s inspiring 2023 Critics Choice Awards speech.

Mowry shared a heartfelt message on Sheryl

Mowry wrote in her caption, "I had the honor of working with @thesherylleeralph, where she played my mom in the show, Instant Mom, and her spirit truly shines through every moment you are with her."

"Her words have inspired me greatly, especially as I’ve been learning to prioritize my self-image over others’ opinions of me. At the end of the day, I’ve learned that I need to make peace with myself, and that may involve setting boundaries that other people may not appreciate," she continued in her caption.

"But as long as I can see my growth and be proud of the person I am becoming, that is all that matters 💕," the star added.

Mowry was in Thailand days ago for a family trip

Ralph bagged the award for Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for her work as Barbara Howard in ‘Abbott Elementary,’ per People.

"To all of you watching, come close to the screen and listen," she said.

"People don't have to like you, people don't have to love you, people don't even have to respect you. But when you look in the mirror, you better love what you see!"

Mowry recently embarked on a family trip and reflected, "I feel like I have learned so much about who I am and who I want to be. As women, we’re taught to be selfless, but I have been unpacking this concept and realize that we will never truly feel whole when we aim to be less of ourselves."

She also wrote, "Despite the challenges of the past few years, I am immensely grateful to my support system, my community, my people for steadfastly standing by me. They’ve played a huge role in my journey. To all my community, thank you — I love you dearly!"
