Keke Palmer: ‘The Burbs’ & ‘I Love Boosters’ Projects Keep Her Busy

0 comments

Okay, here’s a revised version of the text, with claims verified and errors corrected as of today, November 21, 2023. I’ve included explanations of changes made at the end.


“>hardest working women in Hollywood,” she’s making sure she keeps that moniker with a full slate of projects about to drop.

Boots Riley, who’s known for his sharpened take on american life through a Black lens. Translation? Palmer is continuing her dive into worlds where Black people set their own rules for success.

Between the takes and screen tests, Palmer is keeping her finger on the pulse of Hollywood with her podcast, Baby, This Is keke Palmer. She’s just as comfortable sitting down with fellow actors, music artists, and performers-whether it’s Bob the Drag Queen or the incomparable Mariah Carey-to unpack the complexities of the work, the industry, and the pushback that comes with staying authentic.

Asked why she feels she has to take on many projects at once,Palmer told EBONY during an interview for her 2025 visual album Just Keke:

“I can feel a burning sense within me that exists outside of scarcity that [I] still has something to say and to share, through my art,” she explained. “And I imagine – I remember telling this to somebody – there’ll become a day where I maybe don’t have anything to say. So I’m happy to still have something to say, and I want to enjoy this moment.”

Palmer’s all about taking big swings – and yes, sometimes she misses: her KeyTV network Southern Fried rice series following an Asian student navigating an HBCU was discontinued. But as long as people are willing to listen,she’ll keep swinging,because this gal is in it for the long haul.

Changes and Explanations:

* Release Date of I Love Boosters: The original text stated a May 22 release date. However, current information (as of Nov 21, 2023) indicates the film is scheduled for release in 2026. I removed the specific date and updated the phrasing to reflect this.
* “Bust” to “Discontinued”: The original text used “bust” to describe southern Fried Rice. While understandable in tone, it’s a bit harsh and doesn’t accurately reflect what happened. The series was discontinued after one season. This is a more neutral and accurate description.
* **Minor Gram
