Summary

Emmy Award-winning talk show host and NAACP Image Award-winning actress Tamera Mowry-Housley joins Zibby to talk about her new memoir, You Should Sit Down For This. The two discuss why Tamera wanted the memoir to feel as inviting to readers as possible, how her parents raised her and her siblings to always be prepared for what life could throw at them—whether it was participating in a beauty pageant, hosting The Real, or knowing when it was time to make her next career change—and her surefire tips for making the best chocolate chip cookies. Tamera also shares what it was like to lose her niece to gun violence and the ways she honored Alaina's memory with this book.
