Black Dads Matter: Debunking the Absent Father Myth

Blacktivities

In this episode of Blacktivities, we honor the man, the myth, the legend: the Black Father. Step into a celebration of black culture, history, and perspectives, as we dismantle the myth of absent Black fathers. We uncover eye-opening statistics that showcase the active role Black fathers play in their children's lives. We explore the societal factors that contribute to misconceptions, including the disproportionate impact of incarceration and the War on Drugs. While challenges exist, we emphasize the importance of recognizing and appreciating the dedication of Black fathers. Join us on this journey to uplift and put some respect on the names of Black fathers, as we highlight their invaluable contributions to their families and the wider community.
