Amara La Negra tells us about 'Exactly Amara,' the 'unfiltered and uncensored' podcast she's co-hosting for iHeartMedia's My Cultura network
aimed at elevating Latinx voices. Amara co-hosts the show with Stevey Newnez and dives into sex, body positivity, relationships, racism, and more every Thursday, all while sharing her own personal experiences.caught up with Amara recently while she was visiting the Dominican Republic, where her family is from, and discussed the new podcast, what kind of representation she wants to see for Black Latinos, and what she’s planning next.
On the first episode, we hear a lot about your upbringing and experiences in the industry, which included performing on Don Francisco’sas a kid. You also invite your mom to share her perspective. It sounds like the show is going to continue to be pretty intimate. Yeah, for sure. It’s fun and… I want to bring in friends and family, like my mom, here and there because I think it’s great to hear their experiences and the way they see the world as well. The one big thing that I feel grateful for now that I have my own podcast is that I feel the Latinx community has been underrated for the longest time in the media, especially when it comes to, and My Cultura is really looking to change the content and represent the language and the way we hear podcasts.
What are you seeing in terms of Afro-Latino representation in the Latino community now? What do you want to see more of?gave me a great opportunity to be as open and vocal as possible about the Afro-Latino community. I continue to keep pushing toward opening doors and breaking barriers for other Latinos like myself. I think that as long as I continue to use my voice to inspire and motivate others to do the same, the conversation is going to continue.
I think the best way to continue bringing awareness is to just keep talking about it and not letting things just slide, like the way it had before the movie. You can’t just let things slide, you have to talk about it and be vocal about it until someone listens and something really does change.
