The multi-talented actress has recently completed production on the Disney film, The Haunted Mansion, which is expected to be released next year. She will co-star in the family friendly comedy with Rosario Dawson, 43 and Owen Wilson, 53.

The funny lady has shared that she turned to comedy to help her deal with some of the traumas of her childhood. Her mother suffered from schizophrenia and when Tiffany was 13, she and her four siblings were put into foster care, each being house in separate places.
The family was reunited a couple of years later when her grandmother took in Tiffany and the other kids.

Those experiences inspired her to write the book, Layla, The Last Black Unicorn, and to found the She Ready Foundation, which pairs foster children with internships.
‘When I was a kid and I was moving around, all my stuff had to be in trash bags, and moving like that is not good for the self esteem because it make you feel like garbage that can easily be transported to here or there, you start thinking of yourself as such, as garbage.’
‘That was the worst feeling in the world personally, and I told myself, if I ever get any power, I’m going to try to make sure kids don’t feel like that. If I can reach out, I’m going to try to change that feeling for them.
The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent actress said one of the first things her organization did was to provide foster children with suitcases.
