ADVICE FROM OTHER DADS
BLACK FATHERS

PATIENCE

Be patient. Also ask questions. None of us, (including our fathers), has this thing called fatherhood completely figured out. We are all collectively learning and trying to improve everyday.

LOVE

What you lack in experience, I guarantee you will make up for in love. Strive to do and be a better man and father. Do it for yourself and in turn, you will learn that it goes hand in hand with being a better father.

INTENTIONAL

My advice here is really simple. Be intentional and be flexible! Don’t allow your child’s upbringing, life lessons, feelings, health, skillsets, or anything else be by chance or coincidence. Talk to other dad’s, read, listen, tap into resources available to you

We create safe spaces for
black fathers that foster community, growth, and healing.

Our stories, content, resources, and events aspire to uplift and equip Black Fathers with the knowledge and opportunities needed to show up at their full potential. We help create engaged communities by activating our 4 Pillars of Mental, Intellectual, Financial, and Physical Health for Black Men.
