As a British-Nigerian media personality with nearly a decade of experience, Amanda Dara has built a reputation as a dynamic TV host, media entrepreneur, and content creator. From modeling to event hosting and social media curation, her versatility has made her a beloved figure in the media landscape. Notably, her career includes contributions to renowned platforms like TVC and Ebony Life.

Co-produced with Kelvin Ayo Elamah, Head of Video at Pulse Nigeria, the podcast addresses themes of faith, resilience, love, and self-discovery. Each episode features thought leaders and inspiring personalities who share their journeys, offering listeners relatable insights and uplifting messages.

Reflecting on her transition into media, Amanda shares, “I stumbled into the media scene, to be honest. At the time, I was fresh out of university after studying Computer Information Systems. While tech was interesting, I knew I wanted a career that would keep me constantly inspired and connected to people. Media felt like the perfect fit.”

This organic journey into the industry mirrors the authenticity she brings to the podcast. With topics ranging from overcoming personal struggles to navigating relationships and faith, Amanda’s mission is clear: to foster open, meaningful conversations that connect people through shared experiences.

“My hope is that Open Up becomes a safe space for listeners to confront their truths,” Amanda says. “It’s not about perfection; it’s about authenticity. We all have stories of resilience, healing, and triumph. By sharing them, we inspire others to embrace their imperfections and find strength in their faith.”

With a God-centered approach, Amanda invites guests to reflect on how their faith has guided them through life’s trials and triumphs. Featuring notable personalities like Venita Akpofure, Funke Bucknor-Obruthe, and MC Lively, the podcast celebrates the diverse paths people take and the divine presence within their journeys.

“Our unique selling point is simple,” Amanda explains. “We’re a God-centered podcast, showcasing the stories behind the success of people we know and love, and how God fits into their journeys. This isn’t just about storytelling; it’s about creating a ripple effect of healing and connection.”

With ambitious goals to reach one million viewers and listeners by December 2025, Amanda Dara’s Open Up is more than a podcast—it’s a movement. By fostering empathy, normalizing vulnerability, and celebrating faith, Amanda is redefining what it means to share life’s unfiltered truths.
