Amanda Seales on Black Hollywood, therapy, and authenticity
On this week's episode of The Limits, Jay speaks with comedian Amanda Seales. Formerly known as "Amanda Diva," she has worn many hats in entertainment: acting, singing, hosting, and stand-up.
She might be best known for starring as Tiffany DuBois on Issa Rae's Insecure. But in 2019, she became the second Black woman to ever have her own comedy special on HBO, I Be Knowin'. She has her own podcast, Small Doses: Potent Truths for Everyday Use. And now she's back on the road, touring with her wildly popular variety game show, Smart, Funny, and Black.
Amanda always tells it like it is, and this episode was no different. She talked to Jay about the realities of Black Hollywood, the downsides of "doing it all," and how she keeps a healthy mind in difficult times.
