Sistas star KJ Smith is the latest cast addition to the second season of Starz/Lionsgate’s Power prequel series, Power Book III: Raising Kanan. Omar Dorsey, LeToya Luckett, Krystal Joy Brown, and Paulina Singer were previously added to Power Book III, season 2. All have been cast in recurring roles. Smith will star in a major recurring role as Palomar. She is one of Famous’s new neighbors and a young mom who’s frequently mistaken for her daughter, Corinne’s, older sister. Any responsible parent wouldn’t let their daughter within a mile of Kanan, Famous, and their friends. However sadly for her daughter Corinne, Palomar isn’t especially maternal, and instead of forbidding her child to hang out with Famous and Kanan, as any responsible parent would, she lets Corinne hang with the juvenile delinquents and wants to tag along.
