Comedian Amanda Seales (Insecure) made her stand-up debut on the hour-long HBO special Amanda Seales: I Be Knowin’.
Let me say this I absolutely ADORE Amanda Seales! She is one of those friends in my head I can talk my Pan-Africanism talk with, but turn around and have a YASS Bih moment with also. I was super excited when I first heard the rumblings of her getting her special. However, I have a problem she is only the SECOND black woman to get her own hour long special. Seriously it’s 2019 why are we still having “Firsts” conversations? Back to the topic at hand, the super talented former MTV VJ, podcast host, actress, educated sistah we love to follow on Instagram did her thing!
Amanda Seales: I Be Knowin’ was executive produced for HBO by Jesse Collins Entertainment; executive producers, Jesse Collins, Amanda Seales; directed by Stan Lathan; written by Amanda Seales.
So we are all information here is your cheat sheet of all things I Be Knowin’:
- The Black National Anthem-If you don’t know the words or the clap (CANCEL YOUR BLACK CARD)
- Vagenda 2019- Ladies we are cancelling all F-K boys in the snatch FOREVER (Insert Cardi B giphy LOL)
- Embrace your inner Latravius
- Hannah or Becky? YOU NAME IT LOL
- The one move EVERY WOMAN has mastered- “The Toilet Paper Maxi Pad”
- Complimenting (Okay Red Dress, Ok sis I see you Yellow Dress)
Amanda is very clear on who she is here for and not! She makes no apologies for being educated and black. There is no time to guide the ignorant on why they are wrong. But Amanda does have time to check those who are willfully ignorant. In case you didn’t know, Ms. Seales has a master’s degree in African-American studies from Columbia University. At one of her recent shows she had to check one of the attendees of privilege and shut her down rather quickly.
Check your local cable provider and Smart Funny & Black for her upcoming tour dates. If you haven’t watched it please take a moment to get all this #BlackGirlMagic called Amanda Seales, cuz she be knowin’.
