WELCOME

This blog is about fatherhood. Black fatherhood to be exact.

DIGGIN’ IN THE CRATES

Lately Dev has taken a fancy (forgive my use of “fancy” – I’ve been reading Treasure Island and their vocab is seeping into my life) to certain Hip Hop stars, namely Drake and Usher. As he gets older we’ve started to somewhat relax our music bans and guide him in his tastes. We still don’t [...]
