Keke Palmer on Being Wholesome

Nothing Wrong, Lame or Corny About Being Wholesome

 

There seems to be a pervasive idea today that if you have a moral center you are somehow robbing yourself and your children from experiencing life. Fortunately, there are numerous examples that prove this does not have to be the case. 

 

Growing up in a spotlight comes with its own unique challenges, especially if you are raised with a moral standard different from the Hollywood “norm.” Keke Palmer knows a thing or two about navigating these challenges to her identity. Palmer grew up as a Disney actress on Akeelah and the Bee. As you know, Disney child-actors and actresses do not always fair well into adulthood (insert image of Miley Cyrus here). But Palmer went on to star in films like Ice Age, and Hustlers.

In a parallel post on twitter, she wrote: “Idk who needs to hear this, but there is nothing wrong, lame or corny about being wholesome.” I could not have said it better in 280 characters or less.
