I figured everything out. Tyler [Perry] was so amazing and instrumental in this whole process and Trevante [Rhodes] was just a pleasure to work with. I was very blessed.” From left to right: Michelle Williams, Tina Knowles, Kelly Rowland, Tyler Perry and Niija Kuykendall.

Rowland stars in the movie as criminal defense attorney Mea Harper, but was also a producer on the film. The project follows Mea as she takes on the murder case of artist Zyair Malloy, and explores "what happens when burning desire takes hold and things get hot . . . and dangerous," per a synopsis. “I remember thinking that that would be such a big weight to carry," Rowland told PEOPLE of taking on the starring role. "And it still is a big weight to carry and when you do that, you wanna make sure, of course, you’re really like nailing this role." She continued, “I feel really blessed to have had it and I want more. I would definitely, definitely like more.” Mea Culpa will be available to stream on Netflix on Feb. 23.
