According to BET, the 19-year-old shared details of her sexuality in the magazine’s summer issue.

“I’m grateful for how being gay has afforded me this ability to experience and understand love and sex, and therefore life, in an expansive and infinite way.”

When she was 17-years-old, Amandla used Teen Vogue’s snapchat account to reveal that she was bisexual.

“It’s a really, really hard thing to be silenced and it’s deeply bruising to fight against your identity and to mold yourselves into shapes that you just shouldn’t be in,” she said in the snapchat video.

“As someone who identifies as a black bisexual woman, I’ve been through it and it hurts and it’s awkward and it’s uncomfortable.”
