WHAT IT IS: The embodiment of today’s woman, Amara La Negra is self-described as eccentric, vibrant and ambitious. She’s inspired by strong female figures such as Celia Cruz and Beyoncé. The Dominican-American is an entrepreneur, recording artist, spokesperson and philanthropist who sheds light on the challenges of navigating the entertainment industry as an Afro-Latina. With her Love & Hip Hop: Miami TV debut this year, she focuses on bringing forth the
issues that many women like her-self experience, while carving a lane for themselves in an industry historically entrenched in sexism, classism, colorism and racism.
