Tera Crews knows what it's like to inherit a legendary name — and still have to prove you belong outside of it.

In this episode of Born to the Game, Tera, daughter of Terry Crews, opens up about growing up Crews, from being on set for White Chicks and Everybody Hates Chris to getting trampled by fans and feeling hyper-aware any time her dad gets recognized. She talks about what it was really like having a famous father who was quiet at home, often away filming like a military dad, and the best advice he ever gave her: don't put yourself in a position where you're already defeated.

Tera also gets candid about building her own lane in LA nightlife, from promoting at The Reserve to launching her brand What's the Tee?, learning to spot posers, advocating for women DJs, and why having her money in order mattered more than connections.

She shares her honest journey with body image, gastric bypass, liposuction and GLP-1s, body dysmorphia, growing up in a predominantly white area, and letting go of good hair pressure, plus hot takes on nepo babies, privilege, and why LA nightlife is more about being seen than having fun.

This is a conversation about identity, pressure, family, purpose and learning how to honor where you come from without letting it define who you become.
