Be prepared to take a journey with Keke Palmer as the multihyphenate entertainer has teased a new project. These days, Palmer's life has done a 180 now that she's welcomed her baby boy into the world. She shared the good news of her pregnancy while hosting Saturday Night Live months ago, and more recently, she praised single parents after her first few days with her newborn. Becoming a mom isn't the only new arrival from Palmer; she shared the first trailer for her docu-film earlier today titled Big Boss.
"I grew up in a very spiritual home. Went to church every Sunday," Palmer explains in the clip. "I was always in practice as a child. Yet, still curious about what the 'word' actually meant. They always said the 'word' is meant to be lived. I never knew why until I started living." A montage of images from the actress's childhood intermingled with scenes from the docu-film was showed, beginning with a nine-year-old Palmer slating her name.
Keke Palmer Struggled With Self-Worth
"Overcoming this inner narrative that tells me no matter how far I've come, I'm still not good enough. Being different is one thing. Feeling lonely? That's another." She added that she didn't need to "be accepted by the cool kids or the elitist. I just need to be accepted by me." In the caption, she called the project a "musical narrative that chronicles my experience in the music industry."
Palmer hasn't been shy about sharing the ups and downs of her career—including the negativity she receives from trolls and critics. In December, she posted a photo of herself at a read-through for Saturday Night Live. Naysayers hopped online to spew hate about her not wearing makeup. “I just saw a few comments of ppl saying I was ugly cause I wasn’t wearing any makeup. And I really want y’all to get the help y’all need because makeup isn’t real,” Palmer wrote. “I’m beautiful in real life, because of who I am, not what I look like.”
She further added, “I wish I could bottle how I feel about myself and sell it. Because some people take comments to heart and these ppl just say anything. I mean truly it’s insane to say anyone is ugly, but especially me. 🤣🤣🤣." Check out the trailer for Big Boss above.
