The fact that kandi had no idea about generational trauma and was kinda laughing about it 💀 thank you Amanda for educating her “and you can laugh but” 😂
I completely agree with Amanda on the topic that Black people carry trauma in our DNA. I am a Nigerian scholar whose interest is on African and African American studies. I just completed a research on epigenetics and trauma. Studies have revealed that when a group goes through any traumatic event of historical proportions, the generations that follow carry trauma in their genes passed on to them from their ancestors. We carry this trauma as a result of centuries of the slave trade and many decades of colonial rule.
Kandi did this also on speak on it! Amanda talk about light skin blacks playing roles that are meant for brown skin/ dark skin ppl. She didn’t see Amanda’s point
@@Foodieengineer people hear what they want. I did not extrapolate from the conversation that Kandi was fighting the idea of therapy at all. People passively cause problems and often the entertainers fall for the ploy, as did Amanda. I wouldn’t have ❤ the comment but that just me!
Amen Amanda!!!! I been saying that Black people should get free therapy. Living in America as a black person is traumatic and we have PTSD PERIOD!!! And that's just some of it.
Kandi is diplomatic and business minded. Her thought process even when answering questions displays she is always thinking about future collaboratives and keeping things professional and making sure she doesn't tarnish her character. 💞
I would love for Kandi to teach classes on business. I always love to hear her speak and her hustle. Amanda I love your channel and just you as a person i really admire you
Kandi has put so many of her friends and family on and has helped so many people be successful. I don’t know why members in her group won’t trust her when it comes to the business of the group! She’s noticeably successful in all her businesses! I honestly feel that Latocha always wanted to go solo, but she continues to go about it the wrong way, which is why God never blessed her moves. Tamika has finally found her voice and recognized that her sister was costing her her bag! And trying to receive her mothers love by standing by her sister even when she was wrong, has made her mature and move differently. I believe Tiny is willing to work with the group and Kandi. Latocha needs to swallow her pride (Pride comes before the fall!) and stop letting her husband cause her to make ungodly decisions and boost her head ! She is not bigger than the group!! And although she has a beautiful voice, it cannot be heard over her shananigans! Please recognize the gift that God has given you all in this group, swallow pride, pray, go to therapy as a group, get all husbands out the business and go be great!!!❤❤❤
Because they would rather cut their nose off to spite their face… sometimes people won’t receive the greatness from someone they’re clearly jealous of… smh.
If this true Y is Latocha the only one punished.🤦 Asking because they are so many broken unhealed successful people. Billionaire are seems to be hard business people. But yet they can be seen as Favored. I think they are all talented and did not have a coach like a sport team. I really like the group and I do not want to see all this pain. 🧘🙏✌
Amanda is correct, trauma store itself at the cellular level and is passed on. I’m convinced that due to the unique circumstances of descendants of the enslaved and colonized globally, need therapy. I point to the collective conditions of our people as evidence. Asé
I believe her. Amanda used the fear of dogs reference and I immediately connected. I had a traumatic experience with a dog when I was a teen so I became so fearful of dogs. When I had my sons they were petrified of dogs and had never had a personal experience with a dog so I did not understand but I asked myself "what if they're afraid of dogs because of me?" Same with heights, I had a huge fear of falling from high places and my sons were the same. I was always mad at myself because most boys often aren't afraid of everything. So now I'm working on it with them
I love an anti group think interview. I love that Kandi don't accept anything at face value. She asks questions and respect opposing opinions. Amanda navigated that conversation very well. I love it!
@Noise_floorxx I don't think Kandi is an Anti Therapy advocate. I think she understands what works for her and is confident enough not to agree. Therapy is definitely a tool, but it takes many tools to build a stable home. Nothing is absolute. Therapy is awesome and useful, but not for everyone, and that's okay. We have to allow people the space to use what works for them and respect that even if it goes against our personal principles or practices. The ultimate goal is just to simply do the work, rather that be Therapy or in Kandi's case it could be stepping on stage and singing. Who knows...
@@treashurespenceryes, but lets not get therapeutic activities (getting on stage & singing) confused with actual therapy, which is facilitated by another person. It’s not the same.
@cinema-q Fair assessment, my question for you is what is the end goal? Is it to simply say you go to therapy or to actually heal and gain tools to be a better version of yourself. If someone path to healing is not your style of therapy they should not be judged for not fitting into a narrative that reflects someone else's solution to a problem. I know the difference between the two just as much as I'm comfortable with being an independent thinker and doing what works best for me. I love that there's more way to be a better human. I appreciate your feedback. I welcome difference of opinions.
I enjoy the interview. Amanda comment on black people and therapy was spot on! Kandi spoke on issues that would be discussed in therapy but I think because she is use to pushing through and being the leader when underestimated I think she created coping mechanisms and a mindset that helped her to thrive in tough times. And when you think about she often shares that she didn’t have others that she can depend on to assist her and she has helped to put other people on. With that said, I don’t know how else to say this but I noticed that Kandi has a knot on her neck. It may be nothing but I hope she gets it checked out by a doctor. I don’t have the other forms of social media to DM her.
@@corscheeverette1700 Thanks for sharing; that is great news! I felt bad for leaving a comment that could appear like I was criticizing her body, but because it was on her next I was hoping it wasn’t associated with her vocal cords etc. Have a great day!
Great job, Amanda, with explaining the impact of trauma and the need for therapy! 👏🏽👏🏽 Wow! I really enjoyed this interview and Amanda's energy.. a new subscriber 😊
What I appreciate most about this is that both women are able to share their individual journey, knowledge and perspective with one another minus belittling or overall negative energies. Healthy and stimulating exchange/debate 101. Hope this continues on your podcast, Amanda👍🏻👏👏
30:37 Kandi!!!! Amanda has had this conversation with you before on speak on it but in a different context about colorism. Kandi has Been rich for a while and a lot of black rich ppl sometimes are removed from the day to day of being black in America because of their privilege. Hard for me to explain
Right, a great deal of black celebrities gave said racism doesn't exist and all of a sudden become colorist. I remember when Lil Wayne said that racism doesn't exist in his world. Of course you're treated differently, you have money. The only time we're tolerated is when we have money or we're making them money.
Mama Joyce may be a narcissist and that may be the reason therapy "didn't work" for them. Anyone who's ever dealt with a narcissist says that family therapy only makes things worse because they get mad when you expose their behavior to outsiders. That doesn't mean that individual therapy for Kandi herself wouldn't be beneficial. Therapy only works if all parties involved are willing to do what it takes. If you bring someone to therapy with you who is determined to not listen or admit fault, that's a "them" problem, not a therapy problem. Therapy only works on willing participants. It isn't magic.
Idk if she’s narcissistic, but she has shown some behaviors that anyone would call dysfunctional or disruptive to any healing Kandi would want. When she said her mom wasn’t necessarily agreeing with her leaving the cheating millionaire, I was like 😮
I was rolling when Kandi said, “I can’t wait for them to see this effing show so they can know..we are not the problem!” I swear she was doing a Dave Chappelle impersonation. 😂 Enjoyed the podcast!
@@nodoubt8842 how was she the problem tamika and tosha are the ones beefing and tosha over there tryna make kandi the reason her solo album didn’t come out 30 years ago even tho she already gave two other reasonings why that album didnt see the light of day and she had 30 years to put out another album but neglected to do so and tiny did xscap3 along side the sisters b/c wanted to do new music kandi did not want to do it so she opted out there was no beef between them when they did that ep
I think i would watch a Documentary on why girl groups breakup and she should interview someone of the women /girls that were in group. It's crazy that hardly any of them are still together or have the original members 😞
Kandi is such a Taurus ♉️ 😂 and that’s coming from one lol but Amanda is right black women have certain stress receptors in our bodies that literally aren’t present in white women which may contribute to different health problems we face at a greater rate like premature births for example
This interview just made me a subscriber. Lol, baby when Amanda was talking about therapy with her mom and said we came here to heal. I hit that subscribe button so quick.😂😂😂
@@saaunique I think you may be a person who likes to read and learn. Others must be exposed to new information by people like you who are either formally educated, self-taught, or both.
I guess as when explains the discomforts of the group and Amanda goes 'well, therapy' and she says 'that is something therapy would fix, wouldn't it?' it kind of makes sense why she's 'ignorant'. It doesn't sound like she's aware of the traumas that has and that black people experience, as well as what Amanda is trying to explain to her. Maybe it's a matter of being educated a bit more. It's kinda sad to see folk not realise what they're going through.
Great show. Love the conversation!! Love when it connected that oh therapy probably would’ve help. I see why she or other don’t wanna do therapy but that small trauma she experienced from her momma not talking to her made her not wanna go would’ve been great 🧐 in therapy but people dnt like to be vulnerable n open
It’s the legacy group comment for me. I want to see the groups of my youth perform well into my placement at the senior home! And therapy is simple. Therapy is a tool. Receiving treatment and successfully using the therapy specific tools to thrive is no different then receiving primary medical care. And very much like primary medical care, if skipped or abandoned it could possibly result in some of the same issues skipping primary care does.
I love Amanda and I have grown to really appreciate Kandi. Unfortunately I was one who grew up thinking Kandi “slept her way to the top “ and I hate that for me ..and her . Those rumors really stained her perception so I am SO glad she is being vindicated . I know it must feel good to know everyone is seeing what you have been saying for years.
I love that Amanda Seales seems to be a bit more softer and vulnerable here - more relaxed and less tense. It's more digestible. I love that for her. I usually always agree with her but her energy use to give me anxiety a little lol. Seems like something is different about her. I love it💜
Amanda! I’d like to make a episode recommendation! If you have not already touched on this subject Side affects of looking biracial as a black women. I was watching this episode and Kandi assumed you were biracial my daughter is light complexion and she said people think that about her all the time and she was so offended.
I think her mom is from a different country.. I can not remember where she is from but I wonder if the people are light complected. Not that it makes a difference regarding the subject you suggested.. it’s just something that I’m curious about after I read your comment.
Also Kandi. Tamika is in therapy and you've noticed the change in how she deals with her sister and mom. Don't you think that could be helpful for you? I'm not seeing how you didn't connect that dot.
Great point Amanda, young me being an Xscape fan, and adult me being a fan of your evolution. Adult me is indifferent to adult Kandi's RHOA tenure. Girl Groups break up bc intentions and expectations are not defined and because they do not seek therapy--crisis averted. Kandi is cool but these worlds should never collide again. Amanda's versatility made this a great interview. Adult me doesn't want to hang out with my 16 yr old self and shoot the shit! I love their music but that's as far as it goes. I read comments and people frequently say Kandi is relatable and nonproblematic. I feel that Kandi simply isn't intellectually stimulating, which makes her unrelatable. Great job Amanda, explore, pitch, sell this idea, case study girl groups, and why they break up on a larger platform. Have them cut the check and I would definitely check in.
Amanda, excellent interview, I live your energy, wit, beauty, and views. Kandi, you guys need to do an Escape movie starting from the 90s to the present day with all the salacious events. It will trump New Edition & Bobby Brown stories. You guys broke the Inernet.🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
Amanda Seales and her authentic energy and her entire presentation.. I started following HER career because she was introduced to my life through (Insecure) and when the show was over there had been some comments about her at a club when she had to fend for herself because the cast from the show were being petty and rude... So when she started doing her rants and shorts. A while back I was hooked. Then I saw her stand up specials... The girl is the truth.... Spiritually gifted and like he I to feel like Ive been here living on this earth in a different time but it familiar
I'm sad that things aren't great between all of you but Xscape as a group is LEGENDARY. What you ladies created together is STILL the soundtrack to so many of our lives. ♥️🖤💚
@@sistaviv1521 Every time someone says something good about Xscape, here come you lame ass SWV fans that’s stuck in the 90s. Go buy a ticket to one their shows it might help increase their cheap ass booking fee.
Despite the comments making it seem messy, I like that Amanda and Kandi had the exchange about generational trauma. I like that Kandi challenged new information and asked questions. That's very healthy. She sought more understanding. Amanda didn't get defensive or off put by her information being challenged, as people often of do. And we see that in these comments lol Instead, Amanda provided more insight in a relatable way. Kandi took in that information. This is big topic to learn all at once but from this conversation Kandi go further on her own journey. That's how you have meaningful/transformative exchanges. It's not about people immediately agreeing.
I honestly came on for Kandi, but you YOURSELF dropped so many jewels 💎 , thank you for the INSPIRATION one ACE (actors, creator, entertainer) to another ❤❤
Great Conversation ~ I love Amanda explaining trauma in the dna 🧬 (i know it can sound craxy when u dont know this science) Kandi is clearly notttt convinced. 🤨🤷🏽♀️😁 But it is true. Really respect this dialogue and them getting to know one another deeper. 💕☑️👑 BLESSS
With the therapy thing....glad to people can agree to disagree without things getting personal. I see points in both views. At the end of the day do what is needed for you to be better.
Truly a wonderful interview. A group that is still together is June’s Diary. They are PHENOMENAL. @Kandi is successful & I believe very reasonable. If everyone could just please be sensible, put your bag first and not your feelings.
Wait, wasn’t Amanda in Floetry?! or did I dream that up? 🤔 Also if any group needs group therapy it’s Xscape. I’m actually floored that they haven’t tried it.
This was so good. I wonder if the dynamics would be different when its a group of adult artists who intentionally come together to form a music group, opposed to young artists growing up together while simultaneously figuring out the industry together. I also wish they actually wouldve went into RHOA a little since its an ensemble cast of women. there are clear parallels between RHOA and Xscape. Even with how they just do things “in the best interest” of the show or the group.
I don't think the dynamics aren't that different, really. Historically, it just seems that there is always 1) an eventual favoritism factor that comes into play, and outside influences are usually responsible and 2) egos rarely take a back seat.
@@TheRetroWoman80 yea I guess it depends on the artists. Especially when its adults who’ve been in the industry before. They may be pass that type of drama and recognize the benefits of just working together as SWV says in their show. BUT to your point look at TGT (Tyrese, Ginuwine, Tank) 😂😂😭🫠
@@markb9663 I hear you. Oh yes, I know the TGT tale lol. Yet, Tyrese recently appearing on the R&B Money podcast brought some unknown truths to light. His accountability impressed me.
The deflection, jumping over conversations, asking a question behind a question ❓ I can't keep up with what subject they supposed to be on. Communication is our partner clarity is our friend. ( In my Craig Stewart voice).

The fact that kandi had no idea about generational trauma and was kinda laughing about it 💀 thank you Amanda for educating her “and you can laugh but” 😂
Agreed.
Kandis response was so cringey and dismissive.
Yes. With all due respect im like Kandi it didn't work cause your mama is crazy. You gotta go back.
I was thinking the same thing.
Amanda is telling her what she needed to be told. Maybe her laugh is a coping mechanism. And Kandi needs to learn she is not always right.
I completely agree with Amanda on the topic that Black people carry trauma in our DNA. I am a Nigerian scholar whose interest is on African and African American studies. I just completed a research on epigenetics and trauma. Studies have revealed that when a group goes through any traumatic event of historical proportions, the generations that follow carry trauma in their genes passed on to them from their ancestors. We carry this trauma as a result of centuries of the slave trade and many decades of colonial rule.
Thank you for that. I’m often shunned by my family when I bring that point up in conversations.

They definitely needed mediation as a group. But also, given the latest stunts on Latocha's part, seems they should move along as three.
They seem to get along better without her like sister's
What has LaTocha done??....what stunts?
I was surprised to see Kandi's ignorance regarding therapy. It has been scientifically proven that slavery effected our DNA.
Unfortunately, everyone does not know about epigenetics.
She’s from the South. Such a different culture there
That’s literally no excuse. I’m from Georgia and read several books on generational trauma.

Receiving treatment and successfully using the therapy specific tools to thrive is no different then receiving primary medical care. And very much like primary medical care, if skipped or abandoned it could possibly result in some of the same issues skipping primary care does.
“How you gon’ tell me” is some true Taurus ish 😂😂♉️
I love Amanda and I have grown to really appreciate Kandi. Unfortunately I was one who grew up thinking Kandi “slept her way to the top “ and I hate that for me ..and her . Those rumors really stained her perception so I am SO glad she is being vindicated . I know it must feel good to know everyone is seeing what you have been saying for years.
I am loving the Kandi interviews on YT!
My favs. This conversation was great! I enjoy both of their perspectives and questions.
I love that Amanda Seales seems to be a bit more softer and vulnerable here - more relaxed and less tense. It's more digestible. I love that for her. I usually always agree with her but her energy use to give me anxiety a little lol. Seems like something is different about her. I love it💜
Two Amazing women!✊🏾💪🏾👏🏾
Amanda! I’d like to make a episode recommendation! If you have not already touched on this subject Side affects of looking biracial as a black women. I was watching this episode and Kandi assumed you were biracial my daughter is light complexion and she said people think that about her all the time and she was so offended.
SE of Being Lightskinned is coming up in a couple weeks!
So looking forward to it. I will tell my daughter to watch this episode for sure. She 18 and really in her feelings about this matter 😏
@@TheAmandaSeales Yes! So needed
I think her mom is from a different country.. I can not remember where she is from but I wonder if the people are light complected. Not that it makes a difference regarding the subject you suggested.. it’s just something that I’m curious about after I read your comment.
AMANDA, thank you for your platform!! Thank you for your words!!! Thank you for sharing 💎💎💎
You are so welcome!
I'm so proud of you Amanda !!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
Their chemistry is so awesome!
Please listen at the 27:06 mark. Y'all tripping. Kandi did say... And I quote, "I'm not saying therapy isn't"....
Two of my ABSOLUTE FAVORITES!!!
Also Kandi. Tamika is in therapy and you've noticed the change in how she deals with her sister and mom. Don't you think that could be helpful for you? I'm not seeing how you didn't connect that dot.
Great point Amanda, young me being an Xscape fan, and adult me being a fan of your evolution. Adult me is indifferent to adult Kandi's RHOA tenure. Girl Groups break up bc intentions and expectations are not defined and because they do not seek therapy--crisis averted. Kandi is cool but these worlds should never collide again. Amanda's versatility made this a great interview. Adult me doesn't want to hang out with my 16 yr old self and shoot the shit! I love their music but that's as far as it goes. I read comments and people frequently say Kandi is relatable and nonproblematic. I feel that Kandi simply isn't intellectually stimulating, which makes her unrelatable. Great job Amanda, explore, pitch, sell this idea, case study girl groups, and why they break up on a larger platform. Have them cut the check and I would definitely check in.
I love both your drives to succeed❤
I made a TH-cam account just so I could officially subscribe 💞 this is my first TH-cam comment ever.
oh wowwowowwowowowo i'm so honored!!! Welcome and thank you!
Oh my goh😮 well you went big for your first subscribe and comment. ❤
Amanda, excellent interview, I live your energy, wit, beauty, and views. Kandi, you guys need to do an Escape movie starting from the 90s to the present day with all the salacious events. It will trump New Edition & Bobby Brown stories. You guys broke the Inernet.🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
It should be a mini series. Give us more screen time for the perspective of each member.
I always root for Amanda, she makes me feel sssseennnn do you hear me!!!
Preach Amanda!! Therapy. Therapy. Therapy.
Absolutely love seeing these two.
I love kandi ... so cool so dope .. great look !!!
I’m so THANKFUL this moment of growth (AND OUR UNFORTUNATE TRUTH) happened on CAMERA 29:02❤!
I love you Amanda, thank you for lifting us up through talk! You are talk!
Amanda Seales and her authentic energy and her entire presentation.. I started following HER career because she was introduced to my life through (Insecure) and when the show was over there had been some comments about her at a club when she had to fend for herself because the cast from the show were being petty and rude... So when she started doing her rants and shorts. A while back I was hooked. Then I saw her stand up specials... The girl is the truth.... Spiritually gifted and like he I to feel like Ive been here living on this earth in a different time but it familiar
What a lovely surprise! Thank you for the interview. Greetings from UK 🇬🇧
Our pleasure!
I'm sad that things aren't great between all of you but Xscape as a group is LEGENDARY. What you ladies created together is STILL the soundtrack to so many of our lives. ♥️🖤💚
A messy dysfunctional drama group. Team SWV with no drama.
@@sistaviv1521 Every time someone says something good about Xscape, here come you lame ass SWV fans that’s stuck in the 90s. Go buy a ticket to one their shows it might help increase their cheap ass booking fee.
What a great interview I like she didn't focus on RHOA& Queens of R&B
Kandi is on to something and I’m here for it😉
Despite the comments making it seem messy, I like that Amanda and Kandi had the exchange about generational trauma. I like that Kandi challenged new information and asked questions. That's very healthy. She sought more understanding. Amanda didn't get defensive or off put by her information being challenged, as people often of do. And we see that in these comments lol Instead, Amanda provided more insight in a relatable way. Kandi took in that information. This is big topic to learn all at once but from this conversation Kandi go further on her own journey. That's how you have meaningful/transformative exchanges. It's not about people immediately agreeing.
I can appreciate that therapy conversation. Very candid. Too bad that not everyone views it the same way , even if they don't go
Beautiful ladies, I have always like Xscape. This was a cool interview.
I honestly came on for Kandi, but you YOURSELF dropped so many jewels 💎 , thank you for the INSPIRATION one ACE (actors, creator, entertainer) to another ❤❤
Great Conversation ~ I love Amanda explaining trauma in the dna 🧬 (i know it can sound craxy when u dont know this science) Kandi is clearly notttt convinced. 🤨🤷🏽♀️😁 But it is true. Really respect this dialogue and them getting to know one another deeper. 💕☑️👑 BLESSS
I am so happy to have Small Doses videos on You Tube
i really like their energies together. they are fun and friendly with each other but will also get each other together !
I have been watching these series for so many displays! I can’t be mad at ya and this podcast!! 🫵🏽🤨
A necessary duo! Loved the conversation. 🔥💯👏🏾
@31:30 I love a Caribbean's accent. I don't know how, but I will have a Caribbean man, woman or child in an animation project
Loved the episode!
With the therapy thing....glad to people can agree to disagree without things getting personal. I see points in both views. At the end of the day do what is needed for you to be better.
Exactly!! I love to see that kind of thing.
Truly a wonderful interview. A group that is still together is June’s Diary. They are PHENOMENAL. @Kandi is successful & I believe very reasonable. If everyone could just please be sensible, put your bag first and not your feelings.
23:38 What?!!! I have to find a clip of that 😅😂😂
The converging of these 2 worlds...much appreciated! XO
Wait, wasn’t Amanda in Floetry?! or did I dream that up? 🤔 Also if any group needs group therapy it’s Xscape. I’m actually floored that they haven’t tried it.
That is Marsha Ambrosius. They have similar hair, that is it.
@@kaunagora6656 she was the replacement in Floetry for a little while
She was for like two seconds 🤣 It was after the OG duo had split.
@@evastilldreams6066 Really? I didn't know that.
@@kaunagora6656 she talks about it on the breakfast club, it’s one of the older interviews 🙂
But notice it’s always between the second and third album
EnVogue
Destiny’s Child
Total
3LW
Danity Kane
Xscape
The Pussycat Dolls
It sucks
I loved this interview!
Great conversation!
Flo is an R&B girl group and they’re amazing!
I love these two
Yes, love ya'll both. Great interview.
The business breaks groups up from divide an concur, lack of finances an greed
I would love to have a therapeutic session with Amanda on Trauma, Narcissism, Therapy and Healing and Black folks!
This was so good. I wonder if the dynamics would be different when its a group of adult artists who intentionally come together to form a music group, opposed to young artists growing up together while simultaneously figuring out the industry together. I also wish they actually wouldve went into RHOA a little since its an ensemble cast of women. there are clear parallels between RHOA and Xscape. Even with how they just do things “in the best interest” of the show or the group.
I don't think the dynamics aren't that different, really. Historically, it just seems that there is always 1) an eventual favoritism factor that comes into play, and outside influences are usually responsible and 2) egos rarely take a back seat.
@@TheRetroWoman80 yea I guess it depends on the artists. Especially when its adults who’ve been in the industry before. They may be pass that type of drama and recognize the benefits of just working together as SWV says in their show. BUT to your point look at TGT (Tyrese, Ginuwine, Tank) 😂😂😭🫠
@@markb9663 I hear you. Oh yes, I know the TGT tale lol. Yet, Tyrese recently appearing on the R&B Money podcast brought some unknown truths to light. His accountability impressed me.
I love you both, great interview!
Yes 🙌🏿, my fave’s indeed. You and Kandi are both go-getters.
The deflection, jumping over conversations, asking a question behind a question ❓ I can't keep up with what subject they supposed to be on. Communication is our partner clarity is our friend. ( In my Craig Stewart voice).
It's a naturally flowing conversation. That's typically how those go.
