American actress and comedienne Amanda Seales visited Kenya earlier this year for the first time.
She shared her experiences in an interview with The Sauce, discussing her passion for African culture and how it has shaped her identity.
Seales described her trip as “unique” and “special,” noting that she felt a deep connection to the country as a Black woman. She visited Nairobi, Masaai Mara, and Mombasa, and enjoyed trying local dishes such as ugali and tree tomatoes.
Seales also spoke about her experiences as a Black woman in the entertainment industry. She emphasized the importance of being selective about the people she works with and taking care of her mental health.
She also shared that her favorite joke to tell involves white people, and she explained how her character on HBO hit show ‘Insecure’ relates to her own experiences as a truth-teller.
Her passion for African culture and her commitment to protecting and preserving Blackness are evident in her words, and her upcoming projects are sure to be both entertaining and thought-provoking.
