[edit] Life and career
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 13 years to Don Nash, an ordained minister, before filing for divorce in June 2007. They have three children.[2]
Niecy Nash is known for her portrayal of sassy Deputy Raineesha Williams on the Comedy Central television show Reno 911!. Nash also plays the out-of-control T.T. on the show, her face blurred to help make her unrecognizable in the role. In addition, Nash is the host of Clean House on the Style Network, as well as providing the voice of Mrs. Boots on the ABC Family animated series Slacker Cats, and starred as Rhonda, opposite Jerry O'Connell, in the short-lived Fox sitcom Do Not Disturb.
Nash 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.
