Future Black History Month: Keke Palmer's Ascent to Becoming a Self-Actualized Superstar

FUSE TV - Future Black History Month: Keke Palmer's Ascent to Becoming a Self-Actualized Superstar

Fuse is once again celebrating an extended Black History Month by looking at a variety of rising forces who are creating Future Black History before our eyes. Growing pains can plague even the most beloved child stars, but Keke Palmer is exemplifying a truly graceful and fierce transformation into a full-fledged superstar.

In her post-Nickelodeon career, Palmer has taken on a multitude of fascinating projects, attaching herself to productions and teams that celebrate diversity. As the smart and driven Zayday Williams on Fox's campy favorite Scream Queens, the 23-year-old portrays one of the few roles young people can look up to in a cast of hilariously rotten characters. The Palmer-led series is the latest major network production by Ryan Murphy, who, from Glee to American Horror Story, has always celebrated different types of people. Scream Queens in particular works to normalize disabilities, featuring deaf actress Whitney Meyer in Season 1 and performers with Marfan syndrome and Möbius syndrome in the second iteration.
