Amandla revealed her fearlessness in an interview with Nylon Magazine.
Here’s an excerpt from the interview:
You’re very vocal about black feminism—have you worried about backlash from the entertainment industry?
Of course it’s something that has crossed my mind, but to be honest, I think one has to ask—backlash against what? It’s not as if there are a slew of projects featuring black girls I’m suddenly being shut out of. This is why I want to study filmmaking after high school. There is such a lack of powerful and nuanced representation for women of color. Besides, most people have been supportive of my video on cultural appropriation and understand the distinction I make between appropriation and exchange. I really am not saying anything that radical—what I am calling for is an awareness of the history and source, and a respect of the culture. People are quick to label me the “angry black girl” because I am who I am and I’m outspoken.
Go girl. I’ll support anything she is apart of.
She’s more woke than a lot of mothaf-ckas twice her age.
And this is the sad truth.
lmao u ain’t neva lied
I love this child so much. I find her and Viola to be such a refreshing change for saying what needs to be said regardless of the possible backlash. Michael B Jordan is one who needs to pay attentuon.
Good for her. I will continue to root for her.
She has such a good head on her shoulders.
Now if only more black celebs had this much courage.
Her mother did a great job.
I hope I have me so damn militant kids! This girl and Jussie and his sister give me so much life!
She is so mature for her age.. kudos to her parents that raised her. I love her and follow her on Instagram. She is so beautiful and she doesn’t even have to try hard at all.
girl bye
The Kardashians have some trash a-s fans. The crazy thing is most of them are black. And they’ll be so quick to put down black women just to put their basic white queens on a pedestal. #idiots
Love it!! She has a new fan!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS GIRL! It’s so funny when I went on another blog they trashed her because she’s half black but I love how she has support here. I’m rooting for her.
I love this girl!!
