Trump, ICE & Dual Citizenship: Can They Strip Your Status? | Dr. Omekongo Dibinga Explains -NAH The Weekly Drop with Candace Kelley
The Bigger Picture Also -On this week’s Not All Hood Weekly Drop, Candace Kelley sits down with Dr. Dabenga (American University), author of Lies About Black People, to unpack rising fears around dual citizenship, naturalization, and denaturalization. They discuss claims circulating about policies that could pressure dual citizens to “choose” a nationality, and what that would mean for millions of Black and Brown people, especially families with older relatives and inconsistent historical records. Dr. Dabenga argues this moment fits a broader pattern of escalating enforcement—moving from border messaging to interior targeting—raising concerns about ICE encounters, documentation demands, and “lawless” enforcement behavior. Candace and Dr. Dabenga also break down practical protection steps: don’t go anywhere with unidentified agents, ask bystanders to record everything, understand what kinds of warrants are required, and build a family plan for emergencies. They also broaden the conversation to diaspora identity—why people pursue dual citizenship for safety, opportunity, and connection—and how media narratives can shape misunderstandings between African Americans and Africans. This is an urgent, real-world conversation about immigration enforcement, civil rights, due process, and community preparedness—with history, context, and tools you can actually use. Across Netflix, iHeartRadio, Warner Bros., and Paramount, the signal is clear: Media is consolidating quietly, not loudly. Partnerships are the new acquisitions, and acquisitions are increasingly about IP, audience, and infrastructure—not prestige. This week reinforces that the next wave of media power won’t come from who makes the most content—but from who controls distribution, data, and direct audience relationships.

He Lost His Son, Then He Changed the System Alfred Brooks in a Transformative Talk with Pam Warner
In this unforgettable episode of Not All Hood, educator and Atlanta Public School Board member Alfred Brooks joins Pam Warner and Candace Kelley for a deeply emotional conversation about Black male teachers, representation in education, grief, legacy, and healing. Brooks shares his journey from growing up around activism to becoming one of the nation’s few Black male educators — and the first classroom teacher in 150 years to serve on the Atlanta School Board. He breaks down why Black men in education matter, how he teaches students to unlearn harmful beliefs, and why authentic representation transforms school culture. The episode turns profoundly intimate as Brooks recounts the tragic loss of his 16-year-old son, Bryce, who died saving three children from a riptide. In a rare and powerful exchange, Pam Warner reflects on losing her son, actor Malcolm-Jamal Warner, and the two parents discuss faith, acceptance, legacy-building, and navigating grief while still choosing purpose.
