DeVon Franklin & Maria Castillo Franklin Essencefest 2026 Interview

from The JamirSmith Show Podcast Hosted by Jamir Smith

One of the most meaningful conversations I had during this year’s Essence Festival was with DeVon Franklin and his wife, Maria Castillo. Our discussion wasn’t just about careers or accomplishments, it was about healing, transformation, love, and the legacy we leave behind. We talked about the importance of doing the inner work, living with intention, and understanding that our character is just as important as our success. One reminder that stayed with me: the greatest work we will ever do is becoming the best version of ourselves. Titles may open doors, but integrity, purpose, and how we treat people are what truly leave a lasting impact.
