Palmer shared her exciting moment on Instagram, expressing her gratitude for being chosen for such a prestigious award. “Honored to have received the Artist of Distinction Award @newportbeachfilmfest. Representing my community is a responsibility I don’t take lightly. I know I’ll never always get it right, but to be acknowledged for my efforts to try mean the world

Keke The Actress And Keke The Everyday Girl
This award comes on the heels of Palmer’s latest feature in “Porter” magazine, where she discusses the difference between the actress Keke Palmer and the personal Keke Palmer. “On the one hand, Keke Palmer is just a brand that I created… a story that I tell and express. She is my art. She is the avenue through which I tell stories. Keke Palmer is also that everyday girl who is just living and wanting the same things we all want – a family, a time for a personal life away from work, time with her nieces and nephews, and her mom. And wanting to take road trips in a trailer to continue my Midwestern roots of enjoying the simplicity of life,” stated Palmer.
She’s Making Big Moves
In addition to the above, Palmer recently launched KeyTV, a digital network designed to amplify the creativity of visionaries on the rise.
The project was derived from her passion for empowering other creatives and bringing diverse stories to the forefront. In the network’s introductory video, she underscored how representation is important on and behind the camera.
“I want to share everything I learned with you because this is my greatest dream of all,” she shared in a video posted to Instagram late last month. “All it takes is one of us to unlock a door to unlock a million doors for each other. I’m so excited to introduce you guys to KeyTV, where our stories matter and where we are represented as the keys to the culture.”
Congratulations Keke! Big things are on the horizon!
