All roads lead to Easter for Danielle Brooks and her highly anticipated portrayal of Mahalia Jackson in the Gospel trailblazer’s Lifetime biographical film.

Presented by award-winning journalist and news anchor Robin Roberts, the made-for-TV movie is set to chronicle Jackson’s humble beginnings in the Jim Crow South to her historic rise to fame – a barrier-breaking journey that saw her publicly wage war for civil rights and equality alongside the likes of Dr. Martin Luther King while privately battling her own personal woes.

Just a month after Roberts took to ‘Good Morning America’ to give viewers their “first look” at the film (as we reported here), its official trailer has finally arrived.

Kelly Rowland fans, affectionately called #RowlandStones, may have just gotten their hands on her long-awaited new music courtesy of the February 19-released EP ‘K,’ but the ‘Speed of Love’ singer is already racing to craft its follow-up.
