When WE Tv first premiered Mary Mary, it showed us a side of Erica and Tina Campbell we never saw before. We knew about their powerful voices and songwriting skills, but we didn’t see some of what inspired their projects. Child birth, parent loss, renewed vows, health scares, new adventures and six seasons later, the series is coming to an end.
As we gear up for the final season, join us in reviewing a few cool facts we learned about the sisters over the past few years.
