Black Motherhood: The Power, Pressure & Truth Behind Netflix’s “Forever” with Karen Pittman
In this episode, we sit down with actress, artist, and real-life supermom Karen Pittman–whose role as Dawn Edwards in Netflix’s “Forever” had us feeling seen like never before. We hear about Karen’s path from opera to acting, raising two kids as a single mom, and why she waited 14 years to let love back in. Keke’s own mama, Sharon also joins the conversation for a powerful, three-generational discussion about Black motherhood, identity, and everything that “Forever” gets so right. Keke also reflects on how becoming a mom to Leo reshaped how she sees her own childhood and the quiet power of witnessing your kids as they grow. Because if there’s one thing we know: the mama is the one. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and you’ll definitely call your mama after this one.Get the Saks designer brands you love, delivered just like that. New on Amazon.

Baby, This is Keke Palmer
Keke Palmer has questions for days, about everything under the sun. From the existential to the inconsequential. From pop culture to pop science. From the meaning of life to the meaning of W.A.P. From life in outer space to “Where the eff is Tom from MySpace?“ And everything in between. Because Baby, this is Keke Palmer, and she is here for All. Of. It.
Each week, the multi-talented Keke is taking you on a journey down the rabbit hole on a topic that she cannot stop obsessing over. She’ll also get deep with special guests, trying to answer the questions that keep us up at night. We are getting INTO IT.
