Eggs, Hustles & The New American Dream:Wealth, Work, and What Retirement Really Means
In this episode of Not All Hood, the group gets real about money, work, and survival in today’s economy—where inflation, layoffs, and corporate cutbacks hit Black families hardest. From $12 cartons of eggs to shrinking brand budgets, we unpack what “wealth” really means when the system keeps shifting the rules. Candace Kelley, Layne Fontes, and Troy Harris dive deep into the new economic reality: Why one job is no longer enough. The truth about “retirement” and why it might be a myth. How government funds for HBCUs are being reallocated — and who really benefits. Why more Black Americans are planning to live abroad — and what they’ll never give up about home. The tension between hustle culture, community, and rest. This conversation blends cultural commentary, economic insight, and lived experience to redefine what financial freedom actually looks like in 2025. Because it’s not just about how much you make — it’s about how much you keep. Not All Hood — where Black stories meet unfiltered truth.
