The Amanda Seales Show

Amanda and the crew dive into the complexities of race, identity, and social justice. She discusses Don Lemon's controversial remarks on diversity, the tragic death of Frank E. Tyson in police custody, and the celebration of Black superheroes on National Superhero Day. Amidst the discussions, Amanda highlights a heartwarming story of Ashanti Tuggles, a Black hairstylist, who sewed an AirTag into her cousin's braids for added safety during her solo trip to Mexico. However, the episode takes a somber turn as Amanda addresses the alarming case of a Baltimore principal falsely accused of racism, shedding light on the prevalence of racial prejudice. As always, listeners are encouraged to engage in open dialogue during the Voting and Venting segment, offering a platform to voice their concerns and opinions on pressing societal issues.
