Amanda Nicastro
is a writer, comedian and actress living in New York City by way of Charlotte, NC. In 2014, Amanda donated a kidney for her sister Brenna in 2014 via a paired kidney exchange. It was a joyful decision that came easily to her and is still one of the most rewarding experiences of her life. It was also the basis for her “I’m Just Kidneying” which takes a whimsical look into the process of living kidney donation and
pokes holes into the idea of what it takes to be “hero material.”
