[edit] Life and career
Niecy Nash is known for her portrayal of deputy Raineesha Williams on the Comedy Central show Reno 911!. Nash also plays the out-of-control T.T., whose face is always blurred to help make her unrecognizable. She is also currently the voice of Mrs. Boots on the ABC Family animated series Slacker Cats.
She has guest starred on The Bernie Mac Show as Bernie's sister Bonita and on That's So Raven as a public access TV psychic named Madame Cassandra, a spoof of Miss Cleo. She is also known as the host of Clean House on the Style Network and, in 2006, began work as a correspondent for The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.
Nash was born in Palmdale, California. In addition to her acting endeavors, she is the spokesperson of M.A.V.I.S. (Mothers Against Violence In Schools). M.A.V.I.S. was founded by her mother, after the 1993 shooting death of Nash's younger brother, Michael. M.A.V.I.S.'s mission is to inform the public of the violence children encounter on school campuses. Nash is a graduate of California State University, Dominguez Hills. She was married for 16 years to her husband, Don, an ordained minister, before filing for an amicable divorce in June 2007. They have three children. [2]
