In this premiere episode of the xoMAN Podcast, host Kiara Walker sits down with actor, content creator, husband, and father Devale Ellis (@iamdevale) for a raw, real, and revealing conversation about accountability, fatherhood, and what it really takes to be a partner.

Devale shares the lessons that reshaped how he shows up in marriage, the unlearning he had to do as a Black man raised to suppress his emotions, and how love without healing can become an obsession. From emotional unavailability to learning how to lead with love, this episode sets the tone for the powerful season ahead.
