Actress Keke Palmer, known for her memorable performances on both the big and small screens, is contemplating a shift in her career. Palmer revealed that she may be nearing the end of her time in Hollywood, signaling a potential departure from the industry that has been her home for most of her life.
In a recent conversation with Teen Vogue, Palmer shared, “I think the timer has started.” Despite not pinpointing an exact timeline for her departure, she expressed a sense of inevitability about the transition. “I think [I haven’t retired] because I just haven’t felt it yet. But the timer, I know that it’s around the corner.”
Palmer, who began her acting journey at the age of 9 with a role in “Barbershop 2: Back in Business,” has grown up in front of the camera, captivating audiences with her talent and versatility. However, as she contemplates her future beyond Hollywood, she emphasizes the importance of leaving behind a legacy that inspires and empowers others.
Reflecting on her accomplishments and the impact she hopes to leave behind, Palmer expressed her desire for her legacy to serve as a beacon of empowerment for future generations. “The main thing I want those legacies to be is [a call] to use your power for good, to use what you have to create spaces and systems for other people to thrive,” she explained.
For Palmer, the idea of using her platform and influence to uplift others is central to her vision of success. “I just don’t believe in holding everything. I don’t believe in gatekeeping. I’m not a coward,” she affirmed, highlighting her commitment to fostering inclusivity and opportunity within the entertainment industry.
