    Today we are surviving and thriving, and that's something my next guest knows all too well. Michelle Buteau, someone who took all the things people told her to shrink, her body, her voice, her curves, and turned it into a superpower. Because who really gets to be the main character of your life? Who gets to define beauty or decide who's worthy of being seen? Michelle answered that for herself. She co-created the hit Netflix show Survival of the Thickest, and made history as the first woman to film a comedy special at Radio City Music Hall. So today, we're getting into what it really means to own your story out loud. 'Cause baby, this is Keke Palmer, and baby, this is Michelle Buteau.
