48 | My Black Fatherhood - 2020

Storytelling is always where the truth lies. It's an authentic account of our experiences - without modification, questions, or uncertainty. Validation that our experience and voice matters. We know what the narrative has been created around black fathers, what they are or aren't doing. What fatherhood has or hasn't meant to them. In our community, though we feel the truth, we know the role black fathers have in the foundation of their families.

This series, My Black Fatherhood, is an honor to those truths. In collaboration with Heather Gallagher (photojournalist Heather Gallagher photographer) we’re highlighting and amplifying the voices of black fathers in our community. In this episode, the voices you hear will be Heathers, holding space as host and the voices of black fathers sharing, a little bit of who they are, what their father figures have meant to them, and how they show up as fathers. These voices are a gift, and we are truly grateful and honored to share them with you all.
