THE REAL (All New!): Amanda & Tamera On Importance of Learning About Mixed-Heritages & Cultures

*On Monday, March 16, the ladies of The Real make viewers the 6th host at the table during today’s Girl Chat! When a mother calls in for advice on how to help her bi-racial daughter embrace her sense of identity, co-hosts Tamera Mowry-Housley and Amanda Seales draw from their own mixed-heritages to advise of the importance of the child learning about her multi-cultures.

And, which of the ladies admit to having cosmetic facial treatments? Co-hosts Adrienne Houghton and Jeannie Mai both speak candidly about their experiences with Botox and if they would ever do it again.

Then, actor Ryan Guzman stops by to talk about the season premiere of 9-1-1, how fatherhood has changed him and what he and his fiancée have planned for their pending nuptials.

The Real (03-16-20)

Amanda and Tamera On the Importance of Learning About Their Mixed-Heritage Cultures

Amanda Seales: My father is African American. I don’t even say African American. My father is black….

Loni Love: (Laughs) Right. Right.

Amanda: … from America. And my mother is black from Grenada.

Loni: Okay.

Amanda: And I grew up with just my mom. So, I grew up in a Caribbean household. But, she thought it was very important that I know my Black American roots and my Black American heritage. So, she always made it her business to make sure I was in, like, extracurricular “black-tivities”.

Tamera Mowry-Housley: Okay.

Amanda: You know what I mean? And, like, that was something that she really took on as her role as a parent. So, I think that same thing…

Loni: So, what’s a “black-tivity”?

(The Real audience laughs)

Amanda: So, for instance, I was like in a group called McKnight Achievers which was, like, at UCF in Florida– in Central Florida, and it was a program for, like, black children who were excelling in school. And we would go there, we would have activities together. And there would be, like, workshops and panels, etc. So, stuff like that. But, also just making sure that I had a diverse group of friends… you know?

Tamera: Yep. That’s what I was gonna say.

Amanda: So, things like that.

Tamera: It takes a village to raise a child…

Loni: Okay. (To Tamera) Well, you are the poster child right here. So, what is it?

Tamera: I know, but I have a black mama. So, I just hung around my cousins.

Loni: Right. But, what about the white side?

(The Real audience laughs)

Tamera: Well, the thing is my– I didn’t really know my dad’s side… of… his family. They ostracized us.

Loni: Did you feel like you left– Did you feel that because you didn’t know your dad’s side that you didn’t understand some of white culture?

Tamera: No, because I knew my dad, too. My dad was around.
