WELCOME

This blog is about fatherhood. Black fatherhood to be exact. But it's also about how no matter our race, gender, political affiliation (or whatever it is that can potentially separate us), good parents are all connected through parenthood. Our shared experiences are what bind us, not to mention our love of a good story.

AN “AH-HA” MOMENT

Recently I was working on a program proposal and began searching the internet for some background information on my topic.  I typed a term cross-referencing “black” with “dads” and another word (I won’t mention the exact term) into a popular search engine, and I came up with porn.  At that moment I realized that we as black dads have little to no positive representation on the internet and this blog is me speaking to that problem.  For over three years I have been researching fathering issues and developing programs for fathers and when I came across what I found when I was searching for information on black dads I knew it was time to change the scope of my work and focus it where there was a real gap to be filled.  Don’t worry I won’t always be this serious when I am posting, I just felt that it should be clear on how I got to this point and how I finally found my where my heart is.

It’s about time someone did a blog like this. We African American dad’s need a voice.

Thanks man, I really appreciate that. It’s a work in progess, but I think it’s the “progress” part I’m going to focus on. -Keith

I think that was a good blog. I commend you on your effort on trying to better yourself as a “black man” and a “black father”. There needs to be more men like you.
