Open [TOMT][MOVIE or TV SHOW][Late 90s-Early 00s]Movie or show about teen girl figuring out she's psychic.
I'll start by saying it's not That's so Raven, and I say this because when I was younger and that show first aired I clearly remember thinking that "oh my god this must be the spin off for what I saw before!". I have never found anything about this online other than stuff about That's so Raven or horror movies. so I'm trying here as my last resort, I've had some pretty great luck here.
What I can remember is a scene of a young black girl figuring out that she's psychic because of a vision of hers just came true and she is either talking about it with her mother or an aunt, whoever she is talking to seems to know that's what it is and they confirm to her she is in fact psychic. A short scene is all I saw, I don't remember the plot or the what the vision was but she was definitely a teenager, black, and she was discussing it with a family member that knew she was psychic before she could finish explaining it to them. I also think there might have been a third female character somewhere in the scene but it's pretty fuzzy on that detail. Was a live action and not a cartoon. Wasn't a crime or mystery, it was a sitcom/comedy type feel, that just happened to be a semi serious moment. Also pretty sure this was on a network like abc, cbs, nbc, etc and not a children's network like disney or nickelodeon.
This had to have been around 2000 or 2001, definitely a while before That's so Raven aired in 2003. Does anyone know what this was or has seen anything remotely like this? The only thing I have found online were articles confirming an unaired pilot of That's so Raven where she wasn't the main character, and they rewrote it to star her after test audiences really liked her. I doubt what I saw could have been that, but have no idea if that even aired on any television network back then or where they tested it to audiences.
Any suggestions or links of something that sounds familiar would be great, I have been driving myself crazy about this on and off for years.
Edit: I think it might have been a backdoor pilot on a sitcom, so whatever this show was it wasn't revolving the girl being psychic, just a one off plot for an episode. It can't be any show that released in 2002 onward.
