In this powerful episode of NOT ALL HOOD, former Atlanta Mayor, White House Senior Advisor, and current Georgia gubernatorial candidate Keisha Lance Bottoms joins Malcolm-Jamal Warner and Candace Kelley for an unfiltered conversation about the state of American democracy, political resilience, media manipulation, and the misunderstood role of DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion). Keisha shares personal insights on navigating political life while protecting mental peace, raising informed children in a digital age, and why local elections matter more than people realize.

The trio dives deep into how misinformation, distractions, and systemic rollbacks threaten progress, while emphasizing that true power lies within communities taking action—starting at home, in conversations, and at the ballot box. From tackling voter apathy to reclaiming narratives erased by political agendas, this episode is a masterclass in civic engagement, hope, and resilience.

If you're questioning where the leaders are, how to stay informed without losing yourself, or what DEI really stands for amidst today's culture wars, this is a conversation you can't afford to miss.
