May 29, 2019The Girl With No Filter | Amanda Seales, comedian, actress, producer
00:45:00Mir Harris and Ricky Anderson welcome comedian Amanda Seales and talk about the white bubble, the importance of breaking through politeness and how the musician Q-Tip helped her redefine Wu-Tang Clan classics. Be sure to check out Amanda's summer comedy tour — Smart Funny & Black: U Kno the Vibonics: 101 Tour with Amanda Seales — happening around the country in July. Amanda uses her humor, her masters degree in African American Studies from Columbia University, and her love of games and music to create a game show that serves as a safe space for the Black voice, celebrating the many contributions Black Americans have made to history, pop culture and more! Smart Funny & Black brings your favorite funny folks to the “Hall of Flava,” to compete in a head-to-head battle of wits that tests their knowledge of Black history, Black culture, and the Black experience. After a night of fun-as-hell games, flanked by a live band and a “turnt up” audience, each show ends with one guest literally taking the “L,” and the other taking the crown and being inducted into the “Illustrious League of Master Blacksperts.” Amanda is also known for her role as Tiffany in HBO's Insecure and her popular podcast, "Small Doses."
