Publisher's Summary

Insightful essays, poignant life advice, and pithy pearls of wisdom from one of comedy’s brightest rising stars

Comedian, writer, actress, and social media star Amanda Seales is a force of nature who has fearlessly and passionately charted her own course through life and career. Now, in her one-of-a-kind voice that blends academic intellectualism, Black American colloquialisms, and pop culture fanaticism, she’s bringing her life’s lessons and laughs in this audiobook. This volume of essays and axioms provides Seales’s trademark “self-help from the hip” style of commentary, fueled by ideology formed from her own victories, struggles, research, mistakes, risks, and pay-offs. Unapologetic, fiercely funny, and searingly honest, Small Doses engages, empowers, and enlightens listeners on how to find their truths while still finding the funny!

Small doses is key!

I love Amanda Seales and what she stands for. The book is very insightful and I love Amanda's transparency. I learned a lot myself and think that any young black female should READ this book. I capitalized the word read because I personally preferred the regular version of the book. Although it was nice to hear the book being read with Amanda's intonations, I don't think narrating is her forté. Coming from a perfectionist like herself, I was surprised to hear how her speech was rushed and unfortunately made some words sound misarticulated. Another reason why I like the non-audio version is what many absolutely love: the sound effects and . the . Singing. Now don't get me wrong, I love Amanda's humour and I absolutely love her raspy singing voice when referencing to some things but, in *small doses*. For me, it was overkill. I did enjoy the "podcasty" feel of the audiobook and the sections "Gem droppin'" and "that one time"... so creative! I also liked how genuine she was and I almost fell off my chair laughing when she talked about the red flags in her past relationships (especially the guy who wanted to learn how to D.J.) hahaaa! Eww for real! Overall, like I said in the beginning, its a great read. There is a lot of knowledge in there especially if you're a no-nonsense creative person trying to build something for yourself. Thank you Amanda! ☝🏾✊🏾
