Show notes
Welcome to the Amanda Seales Show! I’m Amanda Seales. Today is Wednesday, October 11th. If it’s your first time listening, get ready ‘cause here I come! Return listeners, you already know what it is! We listen, learn, and laugh on this show.
I JUST learned that today is National Curves Day– celebrating women and men with curvy bodies. It’s also STOP BULLYING DAY, which should literally last every day of the year.
We got a ton of calls from y’all sharing your thoughts on the AKA sorority, 7-year-old white girl, teacher saga. We’ll dig deeper into that. AND we’re checking in with MC Check a Hoe on the Drake / Joe Budden beef. Jeremiah has your 60 second headlines, plus a lot more!
