Happy November my friends!
I am so excited to share our newest Boss Babe. She is fierce + kind, adventurous, and really talented.
Meet Amanda.
Hi Guys! My name is Amanda Richer and I’m an actor/filmmaker. Most recently I played Viola Kelly, a troublemaker baseball player on Frankie Drake Mysteries. Last year, I played Helen Keller on Murdoch Mysteries. In 2016, I took an incredible 4 month journey working with Sally Hawkins’ as her ASL (American Sign Language) coach on the Oscar-winning film The Shape of Water directed by Guillermo Del Toro. When I’m not working I love a good adventure, a good workout, and brunch with friends!
And in true Boss Babe feature style, I have asked Amanda FIVE questions that I am always so curious about. Read on to learn more about this babe!
I’m a morning person! I love to get up and just enjoy the day. I’m back in school so during the week I’m up between 6 – 7 am. If I have a late class I love making myself a cup of coffee and watching an episode of whatever show I’m obsessed with at the moment. On the weekends I’ve dedicated Saturdays to adventures and Sundays is homework/writing. My mornings always start with lemon water, then I freshen up, breakfast/coffee then I’m ready to take on the day!
I would tell her that life is going to be good! The journey that it will take you on will be an incredible ride. All your hard work will lead to amazing experiences, opportunities, and achievements. Also, you will meet the greatest friends that will be with you for a lifetime. Just be patient, they’re coming!
It all depends – I like to go boxing – go for a car ride to get my creative juices flowing – I mostly find myself seated in front of the tv watching a show/movie with a cup of coffee to just relax and take my mind off things.
I realize I don’t really have a favourite quote – So here is a piece of a poem I love and a Sonnet.
“I carry your heart with me (I carry it in
my heart). I am never without it (anywhere
I go you go, my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing, my darling).”
-E.E Cummings
“I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;
so I love you because I know no other way
than this: where I does not exist, nor you,
so close that your hand on my chest is my hand,
so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep.”
-Sonnet XVII – Pablo Neruda
I would be Bella! A fun colour and who doesn’t like the name, Bella! Fitting for any occasion!
SO. MUCH. FUN! Andddd don’t forget, join the HBXO tribe on Facebook to learn more from Amanda as she takes over the group every Wednesday! You don’t want to miss it, promise!
