Lifetime Releases ‘Keyshia Cole: This Is My Story’ Official Trailer

Grammy-nominated singer Keyshia Cole has put her most vulnerable life moments on the small screen in her forthcoming biopic Keyshia Cole: This Is My Story.

Set to premiere on June 24 during Lifetime’s Celebration of Black Music Month, Lifetime has released the official trailer showing Cole’s journey to stardom and her bittersweet relationship with her late mother, Frankie Lons.

The film is executive produced by Cole, as she is also making her acting debut as herself. Per synopsis, This Is My Story will narrate the “Love” singer’s early days in Oakland, Calif., from “honing her musical talents to her rise to becoming a multi-platinum selling recording artist and television personality, to her complicated yet warmhearted relationship with her mother.”

To help bring Cole’s story to life, beloved actress Debbi Morgan will play Frankie, as D’Angela Proctor (Line Sisters) and Manu Boyer (Girl in the Basement) direct. Within the film, Cole will also debut her newest single, “Forever is a Thing.”

Cole showed much of her personal life on her 2006 reality show Keyshia Cole: The Way It Is. There is where the world learned of her mother Frankie, as well as Cole’s rough upbringing and family dynamics. Much like the BET show that ran for three seasons, the biopic will portray the 41-year-old’s early traumas of not knowing who her biological father was, being placed in foster care, reuniting with her mother and siblings, her love life, mothering a son, and becoming one of R&B’s most beloved singers.
