Babies are people too — and they deserve just as much respect (honestly, even more) than anyone else. And even though Keke Palmer’s son Leo is only 1, she is already working to promote his “individuality” as a person.

The Nope actress told PEOPLE recently that her son “does come with me everywhere,” including to Atlanta, where she is currently filming The Pickup. She gushed, “People will be like, ‘Oh my gosh, he’s the cutest baby in the world.’ I’m like, ‘I know.'” Spoken like a proud mom! But she is also being considerate of her son when she decides what projects to tackle.
