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.

I’ve just been thinking about [...]

I’VE GOT A BONE TO PICK WITH OBAMA

He’s barely been president for a half a day and I’ve already got a gripe: Why wasn’t I invited to at least one of the ten official inaugural balls? I could have shined up my UGGs and shaved for the occasion. I can do the robot and the snake with the best of them. I’m [...]
