Keke Palmer has applauded single parents days after welcoming her son, Leodis Andrellton Jackson.Recall that Palmer welcomed a baby boy with her partner on February 28, 2023.
In a video she shared on Friday, the actress eulogized single parents who had to raise kids on their own.
She said,
“I just came on here to say, if you are a single parent, pull out your cape. Matter fact, clip your angel wings. Because I don’t know how it is you did it,” the 29-year-old says in the video. “And I really don’t want this to sound pander-y or something like this, because I know there are a million and one reasons why somebody wants to be a single parent or becomes a single parent. Maybe they lost somebody, maybe they don’t want to deal with somebody, maybe it’s a choice.”
“But when it comes to raising a kid, I’ve already learned in these short few days that it takes a village. And sometimes that’s a privilege,” she adds. “And I just want anybody out there that’s a single parent that’s been doing this — friends of mine, people that I don’t know, family members of mine — [know that] I really am, in my heart — it brings tears to my eyes. I am just truly, profoundly impressed.”
