It's been a little over a year since Tatyana Ali was on Lifetime doing double duty portraying siblings in Vanished: Searching for My Sister. She's back this weekend starring in Giving Hope: The Ni'Cola Mitchell Story -- in the title role. The film tells the emotional true story of best-selling author and inspirational speaker Ni'Cola Mitchell, who after experiencing sexual violence as a young girl and overcoming a series of personal setbacks founded Girls Who Brunch, an organization dedicated to saving at-risk girls from suffering the same fate through its seminars. It's a role Ali (pictured at top) felt was important to bring to the screen -- and one, she says, that she may have not been able to do justice to at another point in her life.
