KEKE PALMER

Actress/Singer and student, Keke Palmer, wins the 2010 NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Performance In A Youth/Children’s Program for her hit television show, True Jackson V.P., on the Nickelodeon Network.

Keke is one of those brilliant young actors who hones her craft and continues to improve and grow. Currently, we are working on a West African accent for an upcoming film project. I advocate to always be prepared and Keke is doing just that. When her first day of shooting will start, she will be 100% on her game and ready with a flawless accent. Her respect for the people of Uganda will be appreciated by her dedication to learning their native sounds.

Keke was the title character in the spectacular film, Akeelah and the Bee, opposite actor Laurence Fishburne and Angela Bassett. For this, Keke won an NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Motion Picture as well as Outstanding Lead Actress in a Motion Picture by the Black Movie Awards. She has also received nominations for Most Promising Newcomer by the Chicago Film Critics, Best Actress by the Black Reel Awards and Best Young Actress by the Broadcast Film Critics Association.  

She also starred opposite Sam Jackson and Eva Mendes in The Cleaner. In 2008, Keke received rave reviews for her performance in The Longshots, a true story about the first female to quarterback an all boys football team to Pop Warner Nationals.

Keke can be seen co-starring with Kevin Spacey and Robin Williams in the feature film Shrink, which was a crowd pleaser at Sundance.  She starred in the Emmy- nominated made for TV movie, The Wool Cap, opposite William H. Macy. Her performance earned her another NAACP Image Award as well as a coveted Screen Actors Guild nomination in the Best Leading Actress category.

 Her many other film and TV credits include co-starring in the made for television movie Knights of the South Bronx with Ted Danson, a pilot for her own show on Disney Channel, Keke & Jamal, and the Lionsgate film Medea’s Family Reunion starring Tyler Perry, Cicely Tyson, and Dr. Maya Angelou.
