NEW YORK (WABC) — On this week’s episode of Here and Now, Sandra Bookman sits down with actor Malcolm-Jamal Warner and his co-host, Candace Kelley, to discuss their trailblazing podcast, Not All Hood. This thought-provoking show takes an unflinching look at the diverse and often overlooked experiences of Black Americans. Through candid conversations, the podcast dives deep into the many dimensions of Black identity, exploring issues like Black masculinity, media representation, love, and the nuances of what it means to navigate the world as a Black person in today’s society.

He’s also made his mark on shows like Malcolm & Eddie, Reed Between the Lines, Accused, and The Wonder Years reboot.
Candace Kelley, a seasoned journalist and commentator, brings her wealth of experience to the podcast. Known for her work with the Black News Channel, Court TV, PBS, Comcast, and as a host on Roland Martin Unfiltered, Kelley offers a sharp, insightful perspective on the issues that matter most to the Black community.
