Keke Palmer Graces Cover of Glamour's July Issue

Introducing The Cover Star of Glamour's July Issue, Keke Palmer

Born and raised in Harvey, Illinois, Palmer made her professional acting debut in the 2004 comedy Barbershop 2: Back in Business. The 28-year-old has since appeared in more than 60 movies and television shows, including young entrepreneur True in Nickelodeon’s NAACP Image Award–winning teen sitcom True Jackson, VP (2008); as strong-willed Olivia in the 2012 musical comedy-drama film Joyful Noise alongside Queen Latifah and Dolly Parton; and as scheming stripper Mercedes in the 2019 blockbuster Hustlers.

"I can't change everything. I'm not able to fix and save the world, even though I wish that I could, but I can do a little bit from where I am by exposing, supporting, and giving them access—offering the same kind of opportunities that were offered to me."
