NEW YORK, July 23 (UPI) -- Actress and recording artist Keke Palmer says the months she spent in New York, working on the stage musical Cinderella in 2014, turned out to be a life-altering experience.
"That was the most significant change I could tell in myself," the 22-year-old star said at a recent New York press conference. "I'm so thankful that I used that time wisely because it really left me the opportunity to learn so much about myself. I used the opportunity of the discipline I had to have for Broadway to take time off from my phone and to really sit with myself and discover more ways to meditate and do yoga. And that was a really cool time for me. Even though my mom was there, she really gave me my space and she and I were transitioning into her seeing me also as an adult and respecting my boundaries. That was a really cool time and where I was able to say, 'You're making a jump, sister.'"
