Amara is so candid about the victims who condemn her as arrogant, “Haters are telling you, like, ‘You’re annoying, you’re full of yourself’”-Amara shakes her head. “No, honey – I don’t think I’m great…I AM great.” The video shows her bold make-up attire to match her brash attitude, describing how people with success don’t really have time to entertain negativity.

Asked about dimming her brightness, the Love & Hip Hop Miami star cut the idea off immediately. To a drum-roll, she explains, with perfect dramatic timing: “When people see you progressing, they’re the first ones trying to lower your self-esteem. But that’s their problem, not yours.” She pointedly alleges that people really occupying the upper echelons of success are too engrossed in building their own lives to concern themselves with bringing others down.

The comment section erupted into an unrestrained thrill ride of praise for Amara and her empowering message. One comment reads, “That’s the attitude! It’s not our fault if others feel inferior.” The comment was the perfect recap of the video’s very essence. Another fan humorously remarked, “She could’ve spoken any language but chose facts!” Indeed, facts were everybody’s favorite.

One blowback arrived. A detractor attempted to throw shade at Amara by saying she was prettier without makeup, but even that backhanded compliment was shut down by other fans who respect her right to express herself however she wants.

Perhaps the most fascinating reactions came from people obviously in dire need of hearing that message: “Literally how I respond when people ask ‘who does she think she is?’” commented a follower. “I don’t think I’m anything – I AM!” Others praised Amara for her “no mental ceilings” and for proudly standing for Dominican women.

She finishes off with some unsolicited real talk on priorities: “People who have too much time to talk trash about others clearly aren’t doing anything with their own lives,” she says knowingly, smirking. The camera then cuts to a kiss from her, perfect for a mic-drop moment.

This is not the lone instance where Amara used her platform to reinforce messages around positive self-worth. The entertainer, well versed in embracing her Afro-Latina roots throughout the beauty industry, frequently drops motivational material to accompany her music and television gigs, while also using social media to call out Instagram illusions.

A perfectly timed video for when social media pettiness seems at its height… A fan summed it up nicely: “You had to say it and you said it…don’t change for anyone!” Having more than 2 million followers on Instagram rallying for her, it seems what Amara expressed regarding being unapologetic about self-love was just what the masses needed to hear.
