Multi-Grammy award nominee Keyshia Cole is taking on one her her greatest roles yet: herself. Lifetime’s biopic Keyshia Cole: This is My Story is the newest movie in a line of Lifetime biopics joining Toni Braxton, Wendy Williams and Salt-N-Pepa. Get your popcorn ready as the film will air Saturday (June 24) at 8 p.m. ET.

Viewers will get a glimpse at her life before breaking into the industry, traveling back to Oakland, Calif., where the Woman to Woman artist honed her craft. Her journey wasn’t without obstacles though. We’ll also watch the difficulties she faced including a complicated relationship with her mother and childhood trauma. This all leads to her eventual success and rise to a multi-platinum-selling recording artist and television personality.

Cole even dedicates the film to her mother, noting their good-natured relationship despite a rocky past.

“This is a story of a daughter’s love for her mother and although my heart remains broken from her untimely passing I am honored to be sharing it with the world,” said Cole in a previous news statement. “Playing the role of myself was a unique opportunity to re-live special moments in my life that also gave me the chance to process her loss in ways I did not expect. I miss her every day and even though she is not here, her presence was felt throughout this film. Mom, I love you.”

Other actors starring alongside the singer include Debbi Morgan as Frankie Lons, Joseph C. Phillips and Tonia Jackson as her foster parents Leon and Yvonne Coles, and Cindi Davis and Brittney Level as her sisters Neffe and Elite.
