In this powerful Part 2 conversation on I Am Dad Podcast, host Kenneth Braswell welcomes back longtime friend, brother, faith leader, and community advocate Greg Owens for a deeper discussion on Black fatherhood, race, culture, leadership, and the work required to move from narrative to impact. After Part 1 explored fatherhood, faith, and the Black church, this episode shifts into a broader and more critical conversation: what happens when the phrase “Black fathers” becomes more visible in research, policy, media, philanthropy, and public discourse? Kenneth and Greg unpack the importance of naming Black fathers without reducing them to a stereotype or treating them as a monolithic group. They explore how conversations about race can either open doors to understanding or chase people out of the room when not handled with wisdom, precision, and care. This episode examines: • What it means to talk about Black fathers without flattening their experiences • Why race matters, but cannot be the only entry point into the conversation • How universal values such as safety, health, access, family, and dignity keep more people in the room • Why philanthropy after George Floyd often invested in ideas without building infrastructure • The difference between outputs, outcomes, and real community impact • Why Black men and Black women must resist being pushed into a “victimization war” • How leadership must move beyond transactions and toward transformation • What it means to raise Black children with culture, agency, faith, resilience, and discernment Greg also reflects on raising his daughter and helping her develop confidence, agency, and cultural grounding while allowing her faith walk and identity to become her own. Kenneth adds powerful reflections on parenting through pain, watching children endure hardship, and understanding that some lessons cannot be rescued away. This episode is a call to think more deeply about language, leadership, race, family, and impact. It asks us to move beyond slogans and toward strategy. Beyond visibility and toward infrastructure. Beyond representation and toward transformation.

This episode of I Am Dad Podcast features a timely and important conversation from the Moynihan Institute for Fatherhood Research and Policy on how Black fathers are portrayed in television commercials and popular media. Guest host Dr. David Miller sits down with Dr. Jeffrey Shears and Dr. Janice Kelly to discuss their research study on the portrayal of Black fathers in TV commercials. The conversation explores how Black fathers are often made invisible, reduced to background roles, or narrowly depicted in ways that do not reflect the lived experiences of many Black families. The episode opens with a discussion of well-known advertising moments, including the public response to ads where Black fathers were absent from family-centered images. From there, the conversation moves into a deeper analysis of why representation matters, how advertising shapes public perception, and what Black fathers themselves said when asked to respond to commercials featuring fathers and families. This episode explores: • Why Black fathers are often missing or minimized in advertising • How TV commercials shape cultural narratives about family • Why authentic portrayals of Black fatherhood matter • What Black fathers said about how they want to be represented • The importance of showing fathers as nurturing, loving, funny, and present • Why intergenerational images of Black fathers, sons, and grandfathers matter • How advertisers can do better by listening to Black fathers directly • The need for more research on Black fathers in television, cable, faith communities, and grandparenthood The discussion also highlights a critical truth: Black fathers are not asking for perfect portrayals. They are asking for full portrayals. They want to be seen as caregivers, protectors, workers, nurturers, disciplinarians, partners, sons, grandsons, fathers, and grandfathers. They want commercials and media images that reflect the complexity, tenderness, humor, responsibility, and generational strength that exist in Black family life. This episode is essential viewing for advertisers, media professionals, researchers, practitioners, fathers, families, and anyone who cares about reshaping the narrative around Black fatherhood.

This episode of I Am Dad Podcast is part of the Moynihan Institute Takeover, featuring a powerful conversation between Dr. Jeff Shears and Dr. Conial Caldwell on Black fathers, daughters, identity, beauty, and racial socialization. Dr. Caldwell, an assistant professor at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County School of Social Work and a proud girl dad, discusses his study, Preparing and Protecting: Black Fathers' Racial Socialization Practices with Their Daughters. His research explores how Black fathers talk with their daughters about race, appearance, self-esteem, beauty standards, hair, skin tone, education, and navigating the world as Black girls and women. This conversation challenges the assumption that mothers are the only parents shaping daughters' understanding of beauty and identity. Dr. Caldwell explains how fathers reinforce positive messages about Black beauty, affirm their daughters' natural hair and complexion, and prepare them for the social, academic, and professional spaces they will enter. The episode explores: • How Black fathers help shape daughters' self-worth • Why conversations about race must begin early • The role fathers play in affirming Black beauty • How media and social media influence girls' identity • Why daughters need protection and preparation • How “the talk” looks different with daughters than with sons • The importance of fathers learning about the world Black girls navigate • Why girl dads need language, awareness, and intentionality Dr. Caldwell also reflects on how being a father of daughters informs his scholarship and helps him ask deeper questions about fatherhood, family, and Black girls' development. This episode is a must-watch for fathers, mothers, practitioners, educators, researchers, and anyone committed to strengthening Black families and helping daughters grow with confidence, dignity, and pride.

This episode of I Am Dad Podcast tackles one of the most urgent public health issues facing Black families today: the Black maternal health crisis. Hosted by Dr. David Miller, this important conversation features Dr. Jeffrey Shears, a nationally respected researcher focused on Black fathers, family systems, and community wellbeing. Together, they examine a question too often ignored in maternal health conversations: What role can Black fathers play in helping reduce maternal stress, improve pregnancy outcomes, and support healthier families? Drawing from new research conducted through the Moynihan Institute for Fatherhood Research and Policy, Dr. Shears explains why fathers should be viewed not as risks—but as resources. The conversation explores: • The alarming disparities in Black maternal and infant mortality • Why stress is a major factor in maternal health outcomes • The overlooked role of fathers during pregnancy and childbirth • How healthcare systems often ignore or dismiss fathers • The importance of communication between mothers and fathers • Why fathers need education and support during pregnancy too • The impact of generational parenting and lived experiences • How community-based fatherhood programming can strengthen maternal health outcomes Dr. Shears also discusses why the Moynihan Institute chose to reclaim the controversial legacy of the Moynihan Report as a framework for advancing modern fatherhood research and policy conversations. This episode is both a research discussion and a call to action. Because if we are serious about saving Black mothers, we must also become serious about supporting Black fathers.

That children who grow up without a father are five times more likely to live in poverty and commit crime; nine times more likely to drop out of school and 20 times more likely to end up in prison.” The Journal of Research on Adolescence confirms that even after controlling for varying levels of household income, kids in father-absent homes are more likely to end up in jail. And kids who never had a father in the house are the most likely to wind up behind bars. In 1960, 5 percent of America's children entered the world without a mother and father married to each other. By 1980 it was 18 percent, by 2000 it had risen to 33 percent, and fifteen years later, the number reached 41 percent. For blacks, even during slavery when marriage for slaves was illegal, black children were more likely than today to be raised by both their mother and father. Economist Walter Williams has written that, according to census data, from 1890 to 1940, a black child was more likely to grow up with married parents than a white child. For blacks, out-of-wedlock births have gone from 25 percent in 1965 to 73 percent in 2015. For whites, from less than 5 percent to over 25 percent. And for Hispanics, out-of-wedlock births have risen to 53 percent. What happened to fathers? The answer is found in a basic law of economics: If you subsidize undesirable behavior you will get more undesirable behavior. In 1949, the nation's poverty rate was 34 percent. By 1965, it was cut in half, to 17 percent -- all before President Lyndon Johnson's so-called War on Poverty. But after that war began in 1965, poverty began to flat line. From 1965 until now, the government has spent over $20 trillion to fight poverty. The poverty rate has remained unchanged, but the relationship between poor men and women has changed – dramatically. That's because our generous welfare system allows women, in effect, to marry the government. And this makes it all too easy for men to abandon their traditional moral and financial responsibilities. Psychologists call such dependency "learned helplessness." How do we know that the welfare state creates disincentives that hurt the very people we are trying to help? They tell us. In 1985, the Los Angeles Times asked both the poor and the non-poor whether poor women "often" have children to get additional benefits. Most of the non-poor respondents said no. However, 64 percent of poor respondents said yes. Now, who do you think is in a better position to know? Tupac Shakur, the late rapper, once said: "I know for a fact that had I had a father, I'd have some discipline. I'd have more confidence." He admitted he began running with gangs because he wanted the things a father gives to a child, especially to a boy: structure and protection. “Your mother cannot calm you down the way a man can,” Shakur said. “You need a man to teach you how to be a man."   Are Fathers Necessary? | 5 Minute Videos | PragerU https://youtu.be/daS69gf0Tzc?si=UJ0grFAG2chSNjuM PragerU 3.45M subscribers 3,752,405 views Premiered Jun 7, 2021 5-Minute Videos Until recently, the need to explain why fathers are necessary would have been regarded as, well, unnecessary.

This week on I Am Dad Podcast, guest host Dr. Matisa Wilbon of the Moynihan Institute for Fatherhood Research and Policy takes the host chair for a powerful conversation with fellow institute colleague Dr. David Miller, a researcher focused on the mental health and social development of Black men, fathers, and families. Drawing from his academic research and personal experience as a father of two daughters and a son, Dr. Miller explores a topic that has received far too little scholarly attention: the sacred bond between Black fathers and daughters. Their conversation examines the emotional, psychological, and cultural importance of father involvement in daughters' lives—even when fathers do not live in the same household. Dr. Miller shares findings from interviews with non-residential fathers and daughters that reveal an important truth: daughters continue to need affirmation, guidance, and presence from their fathers well into adulthood. Together, Wilbon and Miller discuss: Why the father–daughter relationship is critical to girls' mental health • The myth of the “absent father” narrative • The emotional toll on fathers who are separated from their children • How fathers shape daughters' self-esteem and identity • Why dads must talk to daughters about relationships, race, and beauty • The importance of racial pride and positive affirmations from fathers • Co-parenting challenges and policy barriers affecting father involvement • Why mental health support for fathers matters just as much as for children The episode also addresses the uncomfortable but necessary conversations fathers must have with daughters about relationships, sexuality, safety, and self-worth. Dr. Miller argues that when fathers provide affirming messages about identity, beauty, and resilience, they help counter the harmful stereotypes Black girls face in society. This conversation is not only about research—it is about healing, growth, and creating stronger relationships between fathers and daughters across generations.

“The real problem with the Black community is fatherlessness”. If you've ever heard that, this podcast is for you. Jemar and Tyler are back to confront the myth of absent Black fathers. This episode covers the history of the myth, how communities of color raise their kids, and a word of appreciation for their own fathers being present in their upbringing.

Today, we're discussing the tragic murder of Austin Metcalf — a case that's not just heartbreaking but deeply revealing of a larger cultural crisis we need to address head-on. I'll be sharing my raw thoughts on what happened, and more importantly, having the uncomfortable (but necessary) conversation surrounding crime statistics in the black community.If we're ever going to see real change — fewer senseless killings, safer neighborhoods, and stronger families — then we have to stop tiptoeing around the truth. It's time to talk about why these patterns keep repeating and what cultural shifts must happen to break the toxic and deadly cycle.This isn't about hate — it's about accountability, truth, and the fight for life, stability, and genuine justice.—https://policecoffee.com/?gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAACG7qmLTSF8TidU6uJpGkHMYzxsnd&gclid=Cj0KCQjwqcO_BhDaARIsACz62vPh4GA_6w_PdX8w4PW0sRhPD76KOyhYBmiEOdpiLXHP1G10c9kaPMEaAkK-EALw_wcB

Good Morning Nashville ☀️ THE LAST EPISODE OF THE YEAR FROM THE ONLY BLACK FATHER AND SON PODCAST IN THE STATE OF TENNESSEE!

Good Morning Nashville ☀️ Beyond excited to be bringing you guys a new episode this week, but even moreso just grateful to be alive as we round off the year of 2024. Been one crazy year, huhn? I'm sure you can say the same. But one thing that hasn't changed, is weekly drops from the ONLY black father and son podcast in the state of Tennessee. Let's get into today's episode ⭐️ Man, my pops and myself are so excited to have you guys hear this one today. Paying homage to the elders is something that we should do more of. It is often that the older we get, the more the world forgets about us, and that's the story for a lot of those in the elderly community today.

Good Morning Nashville ☀️ We are beyond excited to be entering the last month of the year with our listeners and supporters. If you have rocked with us all of 2024, we want to say thank you for your loyal listenership. Stay tuned, as we have more stories to be told of men overcoming their mental health in the future. December will introduce our final season/series titled “Black Fathers & Sons.” The goal of this season is to dedicate our platform to black fathers and sons as we bring these men on to discuss the positive dynamics within the relationship that are often overlooked by society. Got a great guest pair kicking off this season, let's get into today's episode!We are excited to bring to our platform the first guest duo for our “Black Fathers & Sons” season. Brandon Sawyers (son) is a graduate of Tennessee Tech University with a degree in Accounting. Although he couldn't make it, we want to give a shoutout to Brandon's older brother AJ, who also has played an influential roll in the overall development of Brandon as a young man. Representing the south side of Chicago, we bring forth Neru “Mr. Lawrence” Gobin (bonus dad) to the platform. A graduate of the University Of Illinois, and majored in Psychology, he began working at a hospital in Illinois. Time surpassed where Mr. Lawrence traveled down south to Tennessee State University where he ventured into starting his career, and while in that process, also meeting the woman that he now calls his wife. We dive into our conversation with these young men and see how mentally they have managed life individually, as well as together. One topic we brought up is how a man can often times be crippled mentally and emotionally when he doesn't have a dollar to his name. Any black man, or man in general, surely can say that it's no fun when there's nothing in your pockets. But especially for black men, we are labeled, stereotyped, and stigmatized daily. Then to not have any way to support your family or yourself? Surely could put anyone in helpless state with their mental health. A lot to take away from this episode, please take some time to listen to a father & son vent today. ✌

With the holiday season upon us, many are looking forward to spending time with family—reconnecting, sharing traditions, and reflecting on what really matters. Dr. Alvin Thomas shares insights into what it means to be a dad today—especially for Black fathers who are navigating cultural, economic, and social challenges. He explains why involved fathers are so vital for children, how traditional views of masculinity are being redefined, and what cultural and policy changes are needed to better support fathers in showing up for their families. For more on this topic: Listen to Thomas's award-winning podcast at The Black Fathers' Pulse.

After Brad Edwards and his family experienced a massive tragedy — twins lost to stillbirth — he decided to create an opportunity to train dads to better support mothers and be advocates for their birth partners. Edwards' loss was the catalyst to developing Dads to Doulas which will welcome its first cohort Oct. 2024, an initiative under the media platform Dear Fathers which focuses on Black fatherhood and mental health. Edwards shares what Dads to Doulas training will entail and why it's important for more men to learn the ins and outs of prenatal and postpartum stages.
