Podcast: Not All Hood (NAH) with Malcolm-Jamal Warner & Candace KelleyPublished On: Wed May 21 2025
Description: In this soul-shaking episode of Not All Hood, Malcolm-Jamal Warner and Candace Kelley sit down with transformational identity coach April Mason for one of the most raw and nuanced conversations of the season. Mason pulls no punches as she challenges high-achieving women to confront their intrinsic value beyond career accolades, beauty, or domesticity. The trio explore emotional intelligence, performative femininity, dating myths, and the shifting dynamics of love in modern Black relationships. With surgical precision, Mason unpacks why many women are struggling in relationships—not because of a lack of options, but a lack of identity. From girlfriend traps to the misunderstood power of energy and presence, this episode is a wake-up call for both men and women on how to lead with self-love, intention, and wholeness. April even assigns some relationship homework… if you're brave enough to do the work. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Not All Hood (NAH) podcast takes a look at the lived experiences and identities of Black people in America.
