That’s why during the pandemic, I decided to not put all my eggs in one basket, do my research, do a little bit of homework. ![]() We know that the entertainment industry is like a roller coaster, sometimes you’re up, sometimes you’re not. It’s like the evolution and growth of Amara.Ĭan you tell me more about this venture that you have in the Dominican Republic with real estate? I feel like I’m transforming, I’m evolving, and I am changing into the Amara I’m meant to be. I have taken on this new journey with him as well, real estate.

Thyroids, high blood pressure, diabetes, all type of things. But my thickness also didn’t contribute to a healthy lifestyle. Then eventually back in December, I was weighing about 230 and I didn’t even realize it because it was just like thickness.

The Dominican starlet has since acquired multiple properties, including more than 40 apartments to rent out on Airbnb and sell in the Dominican Republic. Amara did her research and decided to invest in real estate. Weary of “chasing checks” for others, she decided to make money - a lot of it - for herself. “Then once it becomes business and once you have labels…you start to feel almost like a work slave.” “Music has always been my passion, just doing what I’ve done my whole life, but there’s a difference when you do it for fun,” she tells ESSENCE.
