Love isn’t always something you grow up seeing.

In this episode of Dear Legacy, Kevin B. the Brand opens up about what it means to learn how to love when no one modeled it for you. He reflects on growing up in a home where love wasn’t spoken out loud, and how marriage, fatherhood, and self-work forced him to redefine what love truly means.

From showing up consistently in relationships to embracing vulnerability as strength, Kevin explores how love is learned not innate and how breaking societal norms around masculinity can lead to healthier connections.

He dives into:

• The impact of fatherhood on emotional growth
• Why consistency matters more than grand gestures
• The importance of love languages and emotional intelligence
• Brotherhood and loving other men out loud
• The necessity of self-love before loving others
• Why your “dash” the time between birth and death is your legacy

This episode is for the man who had to teach himself how to love.
The father who wants his son to never question where he stands.
The husband learning that love is discipline, not just emotion.

Because legacy isn’t built in highlights.
It’s built in how you show up.

WHY YOU SHOULD WATCH / LISTEN

If you grew up in a home where “I love you” wasn’t normal… this one is for you.

This episode isn’t about romantic clichés. It’s about emotional growth. It’s about Black men learning to love without ego. It’s about fatherhood reshaping identity. It’s about choosing softness as strength.

Kevin doesn’t just talk about love he breaks down the work behind it.
