The Amanda Seales Show

This week, Amanda Seales and the crew are diving into Black stories worldwide, spotlighting the growing movement in Martinique that's sparking conversations about revolution and resilience. We’ll kick things off with a breakdown of Trump’s cryptic “secret plan” to win the upcoming election and what that could mean. From there, we get into the weekend’s headline-grabbing stories, including Young Thug's release—under strict conditions—and the controversial attempt by the National Archival Museum's head to rewrite history. We also dig into the Big Up Let Down, giving props to a camera operator who shed light on the truth behind Trump’s "sold-out" rallies and calling out Miami's questionable new BBL recovery rentals. In Big Up Let Down, we explore “The Seat Check,” “Truth Pan,” and “Lift Lounge,” where seats and stories collide. For the group chat, Amanda Seales and the crew tackle a hot topic—tipping.
