Sheryl Lee Ralph has a longtime fan in Tia Mowry and everyone knows about it. In a new post, the actress, shared a touching note in honor of her former Instant Mom costar on Instagram. The post mentioned how Ralph, 67, has continued to inspire her nearly 9 years after their Nick at Nite sitcom ended.
She shared a video shared where she gave fans a behind-the-scenes look at her morning routine, all while soundtracked by Ralph's memorable 2023 Critics Choice Awards speech.
The post read, “II 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."
The further said, "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 added. "But as long as I can see my growth and be proud of the person I am becoming, that is all that matters."
The speech that Mowry chose for her Instagram clip was pulled from the January 2023 award show. It was when Ralph earned the award for best supporting actress in a comedy series for her work as Barbara Howard in Abbott Elementary. In the speech she said, "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!"
