That is supposed to be her name. It may come as no surprise to any of us here, but her name means "power" in whatever dumb African language her parents originally spoke.
*the dindu half of her parents
Were they actually African here, or are we talking about American Negroes trying to speak a language they have nothing to do with?
I mean, “Amandla” doesn’t sound very African to me…
At least not any recognizable African language like Igbo or Swahili or Zulu or whatever…
It sounds very much like just a corrupted/illiterate interpretation of the common name Amanda, to me… Which was my point, lol.
Cool, that's what I figured, too.
