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.

NO PLANS YET

I’m turning 30 in less than a week (yes, I’m obsessed). Still, I have no plans. I’ve been trying my darndest to get it together but I keep getting stuck between a rock and a hard place. The rock is Dev’s school. If we hang out on my b-day, which I have off from work, [...]
