Mo to the, E to the…!

Countess Vaughn and Shar Jackson — two of “Moesha’s” most beloved supporting characters — reunited this month to mark the sitcom’s 30th anniversary, delighting fans who still remember and cherish the show’s mix of humor, heart, and real-life teen drama. 

Photos and video of the pair circulating on Instagram and Threads give off a warm energy between Vaughn (who played Kim Parker) and Jackson (who played Niecy Jackson), a reminder of how much the series meant to a generation. 

“Moesha” premiered in 1996 and quickly became a cultural barometer for Black teen storytelling, blending comedy with frank conversations about family, sex, school, and identity. Vaughn’s Kim was the quick-witted best friend who later headlined the successful spin-off, “The Parkers,” while Jackson’s Niecy provided loyal support as Moesha’s roommate (in college) and confidante — both roles helped define the “sidekick” trope in a way that centered friendship over caricature. 

Today, both actresses continue to work in entertainment and make frequent public appearances. Vaughn’s career has included singing and television roles since the ’90s, while Jackson has balanced acting with family life. The reunion posts solidify the bond they built on set, showing it’s remained decades later. Fans responded enthusiastically online, celebrating both the nostalgia and the enduring sisterhood the photos represent. 

The reunion comes as networks and streaming services lean into ‘90s nostalgia. For viewers who grew up with “Moesha,” seeing “Kim” and “Niecy” together again is a simple, but potent reminder of TV’s power to create lifelong connections.
