The Office of Multicultural Student Life hosted a virtual Young Professionals lecture on March 8 with Keke Palmer as keynote speaker.
Palmer is best known for her roles in âAkeelah and the Bee,â âJump In,â âTrue Jackson VPâ and âHustlers.â She is also a successful recording artist and philanthropist.
Palmer discussed a variety of topics, from getting into the entertainment industry to upcoming projects. She has a movie that is expected to come out by the end of this year called âAlice,â about a woman who works on a plantation and escapes, only to find herself in the 1970s. It gives more conceptualization of freedom, as this film is from the perspective of someone who was a slave, rather than other films that are focused on those whose ancestors were slaves.
