Society's Influence on Being Too Much▫️Small Doses Podcast 

They want you to dim your shine so that they can feel comfortably okay with stealing your spotlight.

Hi Amanda, I’ve just subscribed and I’m here to show love and support. I embrace you and I want you to know that your content is rich and needs to be heard. You are appreciated ❤

Thank you so much for your honesty and transparency because I've always been made to feel Like I'm too much. "I'm too straight forward" , "I'm too transparent", "Nobody says how they're feeling", "other friends don't asks them to do better". I'm like huh??? I was raised to tell the truth, and I'm Carribean American. I'm not intimidated by anyone. Not a boss, not a family member ( respectfully). Emotional support wasn't always available in my household, so I was emotionally intelligent about my needs. I was aware of unhealthy communication because it was important to me to be better than how I was treated and how my loved ones were treated. If something feels wrong I feel comfortable communicating that and advocating for myself and anyone else. But that can turn people off. I don't like dimming my light to make other people feel better or help their ego. Thank you for being you and always standing up for what you think is right. I support you 1000%.

You're amazing! You're a leader! Take the lead, and they will fall in line later. Believe it. Create and continue the conversation. Let's talk about public schools right now. The gossip about you is off-putting. I respect your voice and views.

Love you Amanda! People really need to unoack why dimming another person's lightvis important to them....I know that you understand that really is not your issue or problem. Don't change.

This is the first video I've seen of your content that hasn't been something when you were speaking through another platform, and I am utterly impressed and at home! I have needed this-people who understand and experience the same plight of being an outspoken, pro-Black individual and speak to it. As a Black transgender woman who is very pro-Black, I am the object of many people's ire. And though I sign-up for that when I choose to live in truth, I don't believe one should have to sign-up for negativity to live in positivity. One shouldn't have to embrace the darkness to claim the light one would think, but worded that way, it makes all of the sense in the World. Unfortunately, this is a part of what gives our lives meaning-that we stand on our hill(s) and defend our square(s). I just wish our own communities weren't as opposed to our existence and courage.

That’s right Amanda, flip the script. I’m not a show off, I’m a showman. TADAAAAA! 🙌🏾

Please please please continue to stay true to who you are on your own evolutionary path. You do not get the recognition you deserve and I know it hurts to be shunned by our community in certain spaces. Your voice and mind are so pivotal to transformation within our community though. I paraphrase James Baldwin when he says…If I love you, I have to make you aware of what you don’t know. You personify that sentiment, Amanda ✊🏾⚡️🤎

I absolutely love your honesty! Teach!

30 seconds in and it occurs to me that even emotional intelligence is a wealth creation industry for them. There's so much work to be done and until the Whiteness is deconstructed, the work will be continuing with or without them. Love this so much Amanda. Honest, true and constantly consistent.

I love your voice ❤’ I feel less crazy listening to you .

Here to always support you. From Egypt and Ireland I tune in and follow your socials. I think you are to be cherished and lifted. You're amazing. Never give up! 🎉

Please know that there are many of us, black women out here who understand what you’re going through and we understand the ignorance of our community, especially among black women. Although I love my Black sisters, immensely, I understand they’re shortcomings and how they have too many problems in loving other black women. so please continue to do what you do and work through the disappointment. They hate and ridicule because there’s people out here like me who need you. Best wishes be well and know you are appreciated and loved bye Amanda.

Thankful for voices like yours & I appreciate your candor. You are a truth teller. Thank you for being too much & thank you for saying it twice.

I agree Amanda. There is nothing positive about being white but if you want to be an Ally then show with your actions that you support or care about what we experience as being black. Oh and being too much is used so loosely. If how I approach things or my personality is different, either be open to understand or hey go to a space where you maybe can handle. Im humble on areas I may need to improve but that sentence is not “fair” about me as a human being.

I LOVE YOU AND DO SUPORT MY SHERO MISS AMANDA SEAL GO GIRL💪💪💪

🥰🥰 Your content always hits. I often feel internally unhinged but your content brings me peace because I’m simply dismantling the trash of patriarchy, along with so much more, that people just want to normalize. You are an authentic human and it’s beautiful!!! 💗💗💗 🥂Here’s to change. May we know it, May we be it and May we raise it 😉😁

Hey Amanda, Sending Love and Encouragement! We Need You Sister! We Need Voices Like Yours!!!!

Love you Sis❤

Where are the full episodes? I'm on the patreon and I'm only seeing some episodes, done in not seeing the bonus material. Idk what's going on and is irritating me. I feel so behind

The end was funny but for real tho. Why people be so mad at other people’s good ethics?

7:20 wow, that seems to be a common theme that people are formulating judgments of you before they even know you. Trying to play and dismiss you like you're an effervescent person and then have to get checked.

I really thought Amanda Seales light skinned privilege would have gotten her everything she wanted…and of I’m being facetious…but according to her and Jason Lee this is the case, I no longer look at the same you should know the moment you start to say or acknowledge “Karen’s “They” white privileged etc, you’ve already lost.

We wont hear from him. He scared lol. They usaully not brave enough to face us. I felt that. We waiting in sacrsacm ! Lol

But what about when you tell someone that they are enough?

CAN YOU DO A INTERVIEW WITH CANDACE OWENS!? That would be a match up to die for! ❤

One of my favorite expressions is “ you doing waaaay too much” Notice the emphasis on DOING not being… Btw - the Mom from the islands thing is REAL. Love your energy 💗Felt this.

Random question, but does anyone know if Amanda is neurodivergent?

Crab in the bucket with those dorm girls. I can understand taking a grievance based view of Europeans, coming from the caribbean, but I would invite you to reconsider the view that European culture has offered nothing of value to society. Later in your video you quote Shakespeare, one of thousands of positive examples of the contributions of Europeans to civilization. From a business standpoint, this position is going to alienate a lot of whites that will come across your content, as I did with the Zio-Chat GPT bit. Personally I get the nuance, but the large Canadace Owen's crowd (which is a smart demographic to target) are less patient about this stuff from culture war. They want to support artists of diverse backgrounds who don't judge them for their race and circumstances of history beyond their control. Morgan Freeman said the best way to solve the race issue in America was to stop talking about race. Of course, nobody listened to him... because he's a black guy. I wish for your continued success and growth.
