In a heartfelt tribute to the late Malcolm-Jamal Warner, the team behind the Not All Hood podcast is inviting fans and peers alike to gather in remembrance of his powerful voice and lasting cultural impact.
On Thursday, July 25, from 7 to 9 P.M. ET, a special virtual event will stream live across Not All Hood’s socials and the Roland Martin Network. The gathering will be hosted by Warner’s longtime collaborators, co-host Candace Kelley, executive producer Layne Fontes, and creative director Troy Harris Jr., who will guide a space of reflection, storytelling, and community.
Open lines will allow listeners and fans to join in and share what Warner’s work meant to them. “The lines will be open for people in the community to speak,” reads the official event flyer. The tribute will feature appearances and messages from prominent voices including Erika Alexander, Lamman Rucker, Touré, Isaac Hayes III, Jessica Miesel, Dr. Daniel Black, Kimberly Latrice Jones, and Dr. Jay Barnett.
The celebration will also include exclusive footage capturing Warner in his creative rhythm behind the mic, adding a personal touch to an already emotional gathering.
