12 Black TV Moms We Wish Raised Us was originally published on hellobeautiful.com
1. Rainbow Johnson-Black-Ish
Rainbow is the quirky, hilarious mama we all wish we had. Tracee can even make “Do your homework” sound funny.
2. Nikki Parker- The Parkers
This mama gave us all the life with her confidence and witty clap backs.
3. Vivian Banks—Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air
The Black world was shocked when Aunt Viv suddenly looked..different. But the new Aunt Viv continued to carry out the role with grace and dignity.
4. Tasha Mack–The Game
Tasha Mack was the single mama with talent in her uterus. She single-handedly helped Malik build his career, and she wasn’t going to let any man or woman stop that empire.
5. Harriet Winslow–Family Matters
Harret Winslow was the steady voice of reason when Carl was losing his sh*t. Everybody needs some Mama Winslow in their life.
6. Maya Lewis-Scandal
Okay, maybe we wouldn’t want to be raised by this sultry, evil, seductress, but if Olivia turned out kick-ass (albeit, a little insane), maybe she didn’t do so badly after all.
7. Clair Huxtable–The Cosby Show
Clair is just totally who we want to be when we grow up: wise, smart, and doesn’t take any sh*t.
