Keke Palmer Doesn't Believe In Relationships: "I'm Single Until I'm Married"
Whew, ladies, gather 'round, we have a gooood conversation to have today. OK, so our girl Keke Palmer has evolved into the Queen of Social Media from her ability to give the people what they love: hilarious and oh-so-relatable content. Her posts make headlines within headlines, and sis does nottttt miss, m'kay?!
And although she's been a bit busy shooting a few (unannounced) secret projects, she forever keeps us coming back for more.
One of her most recent posts was no different, as the Big Boss, herself, woke up and chose violence. How? By telling these men out here what they need to hear! In a video captioned, "I don't believe in girlfriend and boyfriend. I'm single till I'm married. Let's just kick it love," she grabbed us all by the edges:
"Dudes be like, I want you to be my girlfriend. But are you going to marry me? Are we ready to take it somewhere out of kid world? Because I'm not trying to be locked into nothing unless you're going to lock me in for life. 'Cause we can just be friends and kick it until you're ready to go."
The video was complete with the dramatic music, and infamous Keke personality and realness that we all know and love.
Palmer has previously addressed relationships, telling Harper's Bazaar:
"I don't really do relationship stuff online, mainly because I don't know how I would do it without looking, like, cheesy or something, you know? When it comes to romance, [posting about it] doesn't really come naturally to me, so I feel like, why force it?"
Soon after, she decided to do so, by posting a video of herself kissing on a (then) unidentified man with a caption that again, got our relationship traumas in check.
And although our sis doesn't like to engage her personal life with the public, even outside of this factor, does she have a point? Do you believe in relationships? Or are you single until you're married?
Let's talk about it!

6 Spring Events To Boost Your Professional And Social Networks
When spring arrives, we all want to be outside, looking fabulous, and back to socializing. And now is the perfect time to add a few great events to your calendar to get you through the quarter in order to make new friends, build new partnerships, and talk new opportunities to level up.
Spring is a high season for networking and social events for Black women, with many organizations and event entrepreneurs booking prime locations and offering dynamic experiences that you can maximize in whatever way possible. Write down your goals, and get out there. Start with a few of these events between now and the start of summer:
New Orleans Jazz And Heritage Festival, April 23 - May 3
The New Orleans Jazz And Heritage Festival is a 10-day event held over two weekends, bringing together thousands of musicians, craftspeople, and food lovers to share in common threads of culture in the heart of New Orleans. You'll get to enjoy works by artisans local to Louisiana as well as from across the U.S. and around the world.
Black Food Truck Festival, April 26-28
Hosted in Charleston, S.C., the Black Food Truck Festival includes an opening party, access to more than two dozen food truck vendors, and a time to workout with other attendees. Charleston has long been known as a Southern foodie destination, with global recognition due to James Beard-awarded chefs heading popular restaurants there and a renewed focus on Gullah and Geechee culture and food in the region. And what better conversation ice-breaker than to talk about food with a new acquaintance?
Black Women's Mental Health Conference, May 4
Hosted by New York University, this is a one-day event to tackle issues of mental wellness and health that uniquely affect Black women and girls. The keynote speaker for this year is Kim Young, MSW, LCSW, founder of Dope Black Social Worker® and host of the podcast Revolutionary Hoodrat, and leading licensed professionals in the field will offer their insights and share their experiences. And, of course, no college-led event is without time blocked specifically for networking.
Strength of a Woman Festival, May 11-12
Anything with Mary J. Blige headlining or leading is a win, especially if we're talking about women's empowerment and enjoyment. This event will be held in New York City, and beyond the performances from some of our favorites like Muni Long, Jill Scott, and The Clark Sisters, there will be a Gospel Brunch. And even if you're not able to attend or concerts aren't your thing, just being in the city during that time will mean you're bound to run into plenty of other women to network with at local bars and restaurants nearby.
Carefree Black Girl Cookout, May 4
Held in the Queen City, Charlotte, N.C., this is a day festival amplifying the voices and brands of Black women entrepreneurs, artists, and creatives. There will be vendors, glam and beauty bars, and complimentary meals for the first hour (according to the platform's website). They're hosting another cookout in Philadelphia on May 25.
Black Women Leading Live, May 13-16
Touted as an “intimate retreat + conference,” this Virginia Beach, VA event will be held on a resort and is offering a professional development experience led by Laura Knights, founder of the Black Woman Leading® program and podcast. It’s an ideal fit if you’re a mid-level or senior professional, as the topics and approach are set to cater to those levels of career experience, with coaches and speakers pouring into attendees with a holistic approach.
