FAQ:
Who are you and what is your name?
My name is My View My Opinion (MVMO) & I am a Podcaster, on CZcams. Due to safety concerns on the internet, I do not share my personal information anymore and I ask that others respect this. Also, I'm against the cult of personality & the promotion of self. I have no desire to "make a name" for myself. That's odd in this day & time I know, because most strive for this. Too many folks make themselves the center of attention instead of helping others first & allowing the information they share to be the focus of folks attention. Many crave applause, acceptance, & "fans & followers". I believe in letting the information take center stage.
Why don't you show your face?
My CZcams channel is host to my podcast. However, I do make on camera appearances from time to time & have many times in the past- as this is how my channel started, with me on camera talking about whatever. And for those who always ask, yes, I am a black woman, LOL!!!! - Zábava
Hi there! Here's the book on EI I mentioned:

Emotional Intelligence: Why It Can Matter More Than IQ

Amanda strikes me as a person who reads the room and then does the opposite. LOL She has to become more self aware and realizes you can stand on your principles without turning people off.
Yes, she does read the room & does the complete opposite! Hence, why why she's blackballed. lol
I love Amanda; HOWEVER, she makes people uncomfortable. My mom used to say timing is everything, and there’s a time and place for EVERYTHING! Sometimes one has to read the room, and she seems unable to do that. She can’t always be a hammer.
I like Amanda but think your POV has validity. If everyone says the same thing there must be something to it
I remember from her podcast with Tabitha, Tabitha said something like, “I come in peace”, and Amanda said something like, “I come in violence”. That says a lot. I know what she meant by it, however, it seems she approaches everything in life that way, in my opinion, and I enjoy her radio show and podcast, but I’ve recently taken a break from her. But I do enjoy her in moderation.
She hates herself. She doesn't know herself. She denies her blood
I like Amanda but that doesn’t prevent me from understanding what you mean about how being polarizing can leave you paralyzed. Amanda shows up the same in every situation but emotional intelligence is understanding that every circumstance does not require the same energy. I wish she hadn’t expressed how she felt openly because people were waiting to pounce on her apparent vulnerability. Social media is not a safe space. She mentioned she takes Lexqpro, an SSRI. I wish some of those people who count themselves as emotionally intelligent thought to articulate their perspective by offering a bit more grace the way you did in this analysis. I believe Amanda knows who she is, she may not have the personal relationships that have provided her a safe space. I pray she’s working to find her community. I’m definitely going to get the book you recommended. Thanks as usual for your thoughtful take.
Smart people learn from their mistakes but wise people learn from other's mistakes
She over talks herself. She is very intelligent yet she shoots herself in the foot most times 😮
She needs validation
She is a mental mess. Went to college w her. She took over every class and she owes me tuition
Amanda is okay. She’s very smart and very comfortable with confrontation/conflict combined with a bit of overconfidence. For example, complaining that she’s never been honored at Black Girls Rock. What has she done to receive such an honor?
Not you mentioned it, maybe because I don't follow her, in my POV all she does is really go on rants on social media but i haven't seen any concrete work she has done to bring change. I have seen other activists (which I don't follow either) being highlighted for helping in different causes but it is only rants with Amanda.
She’s also very disconnected from reality.. it’s how she views herself vs. How it’s really interrupted
When you’re polarizing. Your career becomes paralyzed. Emmm that’s deep. So true.
I only have one slight disagreement, the mantra that “the internet is not real life” may have been true before 2010ish, now it is because humans have made it so.
If we listen to Amanda, we’d notice she needs, wants an award. She needs a trophy, trinket to make her feel better, or good. She speaks of where she wasn’t invited to places; acknowledging her. She needs a “look at me” trophy like the rest of them do. Look how crazy people went with Angela Basset not getting an award. Beyonce never getting an album of the year. It’s sad, really. Give Amanda a trinket and you’ll start to notice a difference, in my opinion.
Your perspective was on the mark as usual! Amanda isn't likeable, and she clashes with everyone. She is biracial and seems to feel like she has something to prove in addition to proving her Blackness. She is a social justice warrior, and it's annoying. She is a good actress, but her reputation proceeds her. Women need to understand that everyone doesn't need to know your stance on everything and it doesn't need to be plastered on social media. Being mysterious sometimes can be a good thing. I see way too much verbal vomit online. Men are able to bounce back from things in a way that women often don't. I totally agree that being likeable will take people further than talent and looks. I think social media followers will gas you up to self destruct!
Avid listener at 39 yo and realize lots of ppl are delusional to their own bias because of the way we consume news and entertainment. Unfortunately it's only getting worse! I know I could benefit from watching less CZcams and less screen time in general. You're right when you say the internet is not real life, and I don't want mine to pass me by.
Great commentary! Smart people learn from their mistakes, wise people learn from the mistakes of others.
Amanda is not mixed race. She’s talked about both her parents and grandparents being Black.
Are you for serious? She's done no real family history at all for someone that makes their millions on hurting black people w the forever victomhood.....she goes alllllll the way around her roots for a reason. And if you ever get her real history please let me know.....she is a mental mess. Went to college w her
@@littlebear67Her parents is from the Caribbean island of Grenada. Idk if she was born in America or Grenada. Either in NYC or Orlando Florida. But I know she’s an east coast girl. Both her parents are black. But her grand parents or great grandparents are another race. What she says is accurate. But you have to trace her roots to Grenada 🇬🇩
_"When you're polarizing, you become paralyzed."_ 23:20
Noted. Thank you.
She’s not biracial. Her mom is Afro-Caribbean,Dad is African-American. She has no filter,and there are consequences for that,especially in Hollywood!!
Can you tell me where I can find that she is not biracial. I heard she is hiding her father because he is white.
She is biracial. I have seen her mother and she actually looks East Indian. I know her father is supposed to be Black. At least one side of her family is from Grenada like 2 of my dearest friends. They said her mother is called Mung Mung back home. That definitely isn't Black.
@@jdbailey442 thanks for correcting. Whatever she is she needs to log off social media and go live!
@@mlfoxworth2247Both her parents are Black. maybe not American but Black. She has pictures with them.
@@jdbailey442THANK YOU.Her Mom legitimately looks like she's from India.
I find it interesting that professional Black women who are introverts, and many are, are often not "liked" by others. For that reason, I think likability is overrated. Likeable by whom is my question?
Forever Alone....
Enjoy
Forever Alone
Enjoy
@@thebolb Fools-free is the way to be. Black introvert women know how to protect their peace of mind and energy, and I respect them for that.
Life is tough. People do not like the truth.
This hit hard. I am in self reflection mode over here while googling, “how to become more like-able”. I am Amanda Seales ( a little bit). When you point the finger, three fingers are always pointing back at you. “ Sometimes we don’t want to let go of our victim mentality. We become comfortable being rejected and “unlikeable” because it forces us to not self reflect and mature into a better version of ourself. A strong intelligent /opinionated woman can also coexist with being likable. My mom always said, “You’ll attract more bees with honey than vinegar.” She should probably separate the like-able Amanda from “Amanda” the personality.
I’m in the same boat. I’m 38 and I’ve been a fan of hers since I was a child and she was on My Brother and Me. I LOVE her, but I get it too. It’s a shame.
Amanda seems like an overthinker and overly talkative person and many will find that off putting. I admittedly have those same traits and have people who really dislike me for it. It’s a hard reality when you’re not seeing what the issue is. I hope she gets it, I have decided to not make everyone else out to be the bad guys. She should just enjoy the life she’s made for herself and the people who will tolerate her.
She loves her money. And anyone that truly cares about "grass roots" would never live in the material way she does. She is just an intelligent narcissist. She doesn't actually feel for what she talks about, because no one that does could spend the way she does on herself
If I recall, when Amanda was in Insecure, she fell out with her cast mates, and she went on this Twitter rant about them not getting her into some parties around the time of a big award show.
Sometimes staying in your lane while self-improving becomes too humbling for some people. Personally, I've found it to be rewarding and will continue on my journey. Things aren't perfect but life is so simple without all of the distractions. I socialize as needed.
My husband is an artist who’s performed at an event where Amanda Seales was a host. He said she was nice to him. But not nice to others.
Damn 😮
This is a good take of the otherside of the parasocial relationship. Most often normal everyday viewers are influenced by the celebrities they watch. But in this situation, the celebrity is being influenced by the viewers. Never thought about this POV.
The only reason I found this channel was because of this video. New subscriber because of it-- wow! Thank you for this take and wishing you well as you (we all) grow.
This is perhaps the most profound assessment of Amanda Seals. There was no shade, no digs just a genuine, unemotional, constructive criticism to date. New subscriber
I'm biased about her as well. I think she's the bee's knees. She's one of those rare brave people that knows how to do the right thing. She gets a pass from me.
Yes, one must know oneself regardless of praise or criticism! ❤❤
I give this advice often, but oh no it isn’t popular. “Faithful are the wounds of a friend.” Thank you always for such wisdom. Love your podcast.
One reason I enjoy the podcasts because you share details/stories I’ve never heard before (i.e. Oprah wig story)…. Thank you for the challenging words again you sprinkle throughout your podcasts..it can be uncomfortable, but that’s okay 👍🏽
Very real opinion on having a likable personality. I know my issues that are off-putting and I’m checking them. Everybody definitely can't be wrong. I'm very big on being real with your Loved ones. Most people want Fake Love. I use to enjoy her podcast until she appeared elsewhere and I noticed how annoying she is. Definitely hope she gets it together
She won't. Been to college w her. She only cares about victimhood
Thanks for another great book recommendation! I read the shiela Johnson book and now I'm going to use my audible credit for me and my big mouth. If you ever had the bandwidth/ wanted to I would love to see what your version of the "Oprah book club "/ MVMO book recommendations looks like :)😊
Just like Tyler Perry told Monique. Amanda Seals your difficult to work with. Now you know what that means for a black woman in the industry. Just ask Janet Hubert the original Aunt Viv from the fresh prince of Belair how being the difficult black woman can hinder your career.
If she is the only 1 being black balled we have to analyze why. We have to ask who else is being black balled and analyze why. We have to take inventory of the total number of people that are getting black balled, and why.
Most of the time I disagree w you but THIS was spot on. Her mental health team has failed her.
You can't fix narcissist
The hardest thing is to take accountability for our actions. I feel that Amanda plays victim because it is eaiser than doing the hard work of looking at fixing what is wrong with her.
I was going to say I don't think it's her position or opinion(s), rather her personality. People just don't like her, and it's causing people to exclude her from these spaces. That's not the same as being blackballed.
Amanda Seales was probably hired as a co-host on The Real because she was not only politically active but a comedienne, too. I expected to hear her opinions on current events delivered occasionally with a sense of humor. All I got was an "angry Black woman" who seldom spoke and when she did she always sounded bitter and angry. She was a turn-off.
"The Emporer's New Clothes"
A life lesson.
We are told that we need to tear each other up to be in play.
..and unfortunately many of us do it oh so well😢
I really really really dislike Amanda. Adding her to The Real ruined the show.
Basically you’re asking her to conform & water down herself and her work to fit in. Many of the people who don’t like her is because she makes them uncomfortable and highlight their hypocrisy.
Naw. She has to become a team player and collaborator. Making it to the next level is a group project. You need other people. We don’t exist in this world as an island. She can still have opinions but become a more effective communicator with love. We cannot navigate life and think people are always “coming for us”. She needs a coach and a therapist.
I agree with you both
I’m fine with her non conforming BUT…Amanda needs to understand that that comes with CONSEQUENCES! That means she won’t be invited into certain places. She should be good with that. Her whining about it makes her even less likable.
@sallyhemings2295 right. She wants it both ways & doesn't seem to understand that's not how it works. She's constantly whining about who rejected her when she said this or that. Either don't say it so you won't be rejected or say it & accept the consequences.
@@sallyhemings2295 hmmmmmmm exactly!
I disagree, with ❤, with you about Gaza and Fanni Almost every other Common sense in general and overall.
I'm not that familiar with Amanda Seales except her short stint on "The Real".. I enjoyed your commentary..some times we have to look in the mirror 🪞.. I wish her well with whatever decision she makes
I love this video. I feel like us as black people need to learn to pass on to the next generations the skills of emotional intelligence, real estate, and yes firearms. These are things that other races have used to accumulate generational wealth and success . And we need to do the same
