Keke Palmer Shares the Valuable Lesson She Learned From Queen Latifah

Palmer said the advice helped build her longevity and led to a role referral after Latifah noticed her work ethic and professionalism.

  • Their professional connection spans over two decades, beginning when Palmer played Latifah's niece in 2004's Barbershop 2: Back in Business, then reuniting for 2012's Joyful Noise and Ice Age: Continental Drift.

  • This professional reputation extends beyond film and television; Palmer recently joined Panera's Refreshingly Loyal campaign promoting its Tropical Mango Pineapple Energy Refresher through an advertisement disguised as a relationship conversation.
