In 1979, the People’s Revolutionary Government was established after the New Jewel Movement overthrew the country’s government. In 1983 the United States invaded the country. Grenada’s government was overthrown in a week. With these incidents still in recent memory, it’s hard to find Grenadians as charismatic as Amanda.
Seales is the leader of Grenada’s new school. She motivates Grenadians to forget the past, live today and never fear the future. Amanda currently plays Tiffany DuBois in Issa Rae’s HBO series, Insecure. In 2015, she released her scripted comedy, “Get Your Life” on Rae’s YouTube channel.
