024 - How Love Lasts: Love, Marriage, Grief & Emotional Intelligence w/ Layne Fontes

In this deeply personal and unscripted episode of Not All Hood, Malcolm-Jamal Warner, Candace Kelley, and producer Layne Fontes sit down for a raw, real talk on what truly makes a marriage work. What began as a casual off-mic conversation turns into a powerful reflection on love, emotional intelligence, grief, accountability, and emotional safety in relationships. With all three being married, they open up about crying in private vs. public, how men process emotion, the challenges of communication in marriage, and why healing yourself is the key to loving someone else fully. Vulnerability is front and center here, and the result is one of the most soul-stirring, relatable episodes yet. No script, no plan—just truth.
