Khadeen spoke facts. She can be submissive to her husband because he has SHOWN her he is the man with the plan. Amen to that.

I don't think there's anything wrong with having a healthy respect for a couple or individuals, but I do think it's a little weird when people start to put others as "couple goals" or just "goals" in general... you only know what they allow you to see, and when you try living vicariously through someone else, you can miss certain opportunities in your own life...imo 🤷🏾♂️

Khadeen and Devale r such a great couple. I’ve been watching them ever since Devale said he was gonna change his life w his iPhone and 60 seconds. And to c how far they’ve come since then is unbelievable. They deserve all of this and so much more.
Devale Ellis ladies and gentlemen!!👏🏽 I love how he handled the “non negotiable” conversation!

Man…he didn’t change his stance one iota. Love it
I absolutely love Devale & Khadeen ❤. They are not afraid to show the true reality of marriage. What they are doing is a game changer‼️
Lessons from this podcast: embrace change; you never know how God is going to use you, it’s His plan, not yours. Learn to pivot, if a door closes ITS FOR A REASON. Respect your partner’s vision even if it seems like it’s not ideal for you, and find a way to make it align with yours. Don’t put other couples on a pedestal, every couple has and will have their own struggles. Also submission is simply trusting someone to lead, and that trust is earned.
I'm so impressed with Devale educating with clear and historically accurate political economic facts. Cultural hype does not translate to political economic power and spiritual wholeness. We can have money and still be murdered. Cultural influence has not and does not translate to less mass incarceration, financial net worth, healthcare, and being brutalized unto death outside AND within our "communities".
This was a great interview. I love seeing happy, healthy relationship’s that can be honest and transparent!!!!

This is so good to see. Love on both sides without being materially motivated. Just genuine love for each other. Just having someone to do better be better. I pray I find this one day. Salute to Cam for showcasing this and to the Ellises for showing us that it does exist. God bless all of you going forward in life

I love that we got to see the grind and now we get to see the reward. So happy for their book and the show Zatima. Black excellence. So dope!
Loveeeee this couple! The accountability, transparency, vulnerability. They’re doing what works for them. ❤❤❤❤. Great job Cam!

This interview showed me that there are couples out there that has relationship mindset like me. I appreciate this interview to show me there is hope for what I want and what I like in a partner, friend, husband (if it gets to that point). I don’t have to be “married” but the relationship is so genuine, loving and natural that it feels like we’re married and the world thinks we’re married. Like the airport scene lol Peace&blessings to the Ellises♥️
Let Em Know Devale 🥰 #theellises4life Hey Kay Kay Also 🙏🏽 Thank you for explaining that respecting each other is not considered being submissive. A lot of men out here don’t have leadership skills in any way but expect someone to follow and submit to them. Like Khadeen stated, when he showed me he can lead….. Best statement ever…. You have to be able to LEAD if you expect someone to follow you.
They now have 4 beautiful son's love them💕💕💕💕
I love me some Khadeen and Devale because they always keep it a buck! We expect that from Cam always so all 3 combined was amazing!!!!
This was such a raw but in-depth interview/ conversation that touched so many surfaces that’s usually overlook. Love it
I love this couple they have a beautiful marriage and family .👑🗽
I had no idea Cam was so funny 😂. This was a great conversation
Devalue and Kay are a wonderful example of true black love. Cam was lost in translation. Jumping from One thing to the next. So glad Devale was able to bring it back. Cam is really trying to sound so profound, but is so lost.

If he could just stay on one topic, complete that and move on to the next and so on and so forth. Then maybe he could he can relate and be more relatable.

This was an EXCELLENT interview. So relatable and touched on so many points. I come from a Caribbean household just like Khadeen so I so relate to how she spoke about the dynamics of her parents marriage and how they communicated and it affected being a struggle at times with her being able to effectively communicate with Devale. I know they don’t like couple goals and honestly I don’t like saying it but Devale & Khadeen are being great great examples of what healthy black love looks like. I’m older than them yet I get a lot of gems from how they are and how they move. Can’t wait to get the book!
Cam please don't let your ability to not give a flip, disconnect you from your soul. That will create narcissistic tendencies and disconnect you from the true and living God. I see you son and I'm praying for you. Please don't let this world do this to you. God has a plan for you on another level. You have the ability to speak to the masses for the kingdom♥️🙏🏽
I absolutely love listening to Deval! Yes, he’s a comedian, but even more so, he’s full of a wealth of knowledge and truth, and he boldly speaks THE truth in any room, regardless of trends and popular emotionally charged arguments. He elevates the intellect in discussions. I love how he distinctively challenged Cam’s comment about “all love…regardless the color.” … I love and agree with Devals clarification… Black love is distinctively different, powerful, and revolutionary due to the history of oppression in our Nation. I could go on for days! Great points made by Deval!
I'm gaining a new respect for Cam and his intellect and realness. I'm a Kay and Devale fan clubbers. Love their Black love!
Kay Kay really picked a good one. I've never seen a more dedication black family man who really loves and cherishes his wife! #blacklove
I’ve always admired their transparency.
We love The Ellises ❤!! Everything said was on point. They have provided so much wisdom throughout the years and via their podcast!
This was a dope conversation. As a married woman wanting to be different from what I've seen and continue to witness of marriage and relationships that I know would not serve me, it's so insightful of all the greatness and growth that I've been following since the beginning of their journey. Thanks Cam for this much needed link for this type of conversation our community need to be opened to. ❤
I love how Devale is talking. Makes sense!! Good interview!! ❤️
This is one of the greatest interviews on the channel 🎉 Let’s have Khadeen and Devale - part 2 please!!!
Couple of the culture: Denzel and Paula
I've watched both parties operate in their platforms. This is by far the best interview I've seen for each party. Cam was very intentional with his questions and Devale/Kadene dropped some monster gems. Vale...much respect to you bro. People don't understand how heavy the crown is that we wear as black men, but it seems like your emotional intelligence (and spirituality) has been your saving grace. Nothing but love bro. Y'all be blessed
Such a great interview I love this couple! I didn’t want the interview to end
I love this interview especially as a young and very single young lady still just because it really promotes knowing thyself and standing firm in that. Your life is yours and you CHOOSE what that looks like and people are allowed to accept or reject that and usually it has nothing to do with you. Loved this. Bookmarking it ❤
Very good interview. Devale is an old soul and they are a great couple. Very open and honest. Part 2 please.

I watch him, his children, and wife. Love it!❤️❤️💐💐
Funky & Fabulous! I love it here Cam! You’re as solid as a rock brother!
I truly appreciate his wife- being beautiful and supportive to not only elevate herself, children and hubby....
This was an awesome interview. Khadeen and Devale are each very intelligent in their own right, but they complement one another so well in tbeir walk of marriage. Cam is very transparent! Would love to meet him in person and just have an intellectual conversation. I thoroughly enjoyed this interview! ❤️
Boy I love these two! So authentic ❤️
Real talk Cam, u might be a better interviewer/media guy than QB which is COLD AF much success to u Cam. Devale killing it, bro is a superstar n the making, as a married man love y’all relationship and convo
Devale and Khadeen are so amazing I love hearing them motivate and empower each other I hope one day me & my girlfriend/ wife will have that type of relationship…💯💪🏽

I support anything that they are doing or trying to do they are the ideal black family-couple they are couple goals without trying to be couple goals they want the world to see what black healthy love looks like.
