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.

For Students: http://l.prageru.com/29SgPaX JOIN our Educators Network! http://l.prageru.com/2c8vsff Script: Years ago, I interviewed Kweisi Mfume, then the president of the NAACP. “As between the presence of white racism and the absence of black fathers,” I asked, “Which poses the bigger threat to the black community?” Without missing a beat, he said, “The absence of black fathers.” It was President Barack Obama who said, "We all know the statistics. 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.

Brother Faheem discusses the importance of Black Fathers.

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.

In this episode of "Everyday Black Men," the hosts—Riker, Reed, the Black Libertarian, Sham, and Armstead—welcome Professor Nware Burge to discuss his documentary, "FOR MOTHERS WHO WON'T LET FATHERS SEE THEIR CHILDREN." Professor Nware sheds light on the issue of black fathers being denied access to their children, discussing the issue in prestigious settings like Oxford, and emphasizes the importance of addressing this issue. Sham explores how critiquing black fathers can sometimes be marketable, while Reed contrasts the dynamics of being married with children versus cohabiting in relation to parental responsibilities. The podcast delves into these complex topics, with the added bonus of a heated debate between Riker and the Black Libertarian available exclusively on Patreon. The episode concludes with an engaging discussion about the documentary's sequls and the broader implications for family dynamics and race relations.Film: https://filmfreeway.com/projects/3178881Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/everyday-black-men--2988631/support.

So, let's talk about the story and experience Black fathers go through in raising autism-diagnosed kids… While autism discussions and advocacy are slowly coming to the forefront, unfortunately, not enough attention is given to the experiences of fathers – especially Black fathers – just yet. That's why we're back with another episode from this two-part series with Nick Richardson, an author, a loving husband, and a Black father to a son who has a dual diagnosis of autism and ADHD. Going through the experience of having to unlearn and relearn everything for his son's development, he believes in the power and importance of having support groups and/or communities. Regardless of whether you're a father who just got your kid's diagnosis or a spouse trying to understand what your husband is thinking, this two-part series will try to serve as a helping hand in this time of need. In this episode, Nick emphasizes the importance of creating a household full of love as he stresses how crucial it is that as parents, we also find people we trust to rely on so we can find balance and take a break. Because as beautiful and loving as it is that our love drives us to work for the betterment of our kids, we also need to recharge and take a breath. Why you need to check this episode: Understand the importance of parents having a trusted community to rely on for taking a break; Recognize the significance of creating and having a positive and loving household, regardless of whether your kids are atypical, neurotypical, or neurodivergent; and Learn how to find balance in life as a parent, especially if you have a child on the spectrum. “I believe all households should be full of love. Every household is different, but when you're definitely talking about having a child on the spectrum, creating the most positive atmosphere you can will help better your child in the development with this diagnosis.” – Nick Richardson Notable Quotes: “What I'm realizing is I know when I surround my son with the things he prefers, he has a better opportunity not only to learn academically but learn socially when there are positive environments around him.” – Nick Richardson “It all depends on what your priorities are. That's how you find out what you can handle and what gets done and what doesn't get done.” – Nick Richardson Mentions: (Part 1) The Unique Journey of Black Fathers Raising Autistic Kids with Nick Richardson AutisHim Breaking Barriers: An Introductory Look at African American Fathers and Autism Advocacy Connect with Nick Richardson: Facebook YouTube Sign up at www.listentodrberry.com  to join the mailing list.

Changing The Narrative of Black Fathers: EP 19 : Henry Fernandez Podcast

So, let's talk about the story and experience Black fathers go through in raising autism-diagnosed kids… Nick Richardson is an author, a loving husband, and a Black father to a son who has a dual diagnosis of autism and ADHD. Going through the experience of having to unlearn and relearn everything for the development of his son, he believes in the power and importance of having support groups and/or communities. Just like what he said in this episode, more often than not, people – especially men – tend to forget that while they're going through the struggles, there are other people – or men – going through the same, too. Not to mention the lack of support for our brothers out there as well. But while it is unfortunate that the stories of fathers – especially Black men – aren't being talked about enough these days, we cannot let our voices be silenced, for like our autistic loved ones, we also need all the support that we can receive. And that's one of the reasons why he's here today – to send the message out there that this is happening and there are people whose story mirrors yours as well, and that we can be of help to one another as we journey this life and experience of having autistic kids. So, join us, and let's talk about our story, because who knows? As Nick says, it can edify, help, or move somebody, and even teach people about autism and fatherhood as a parent whose child has special needs. Why you need to check this episode: Discover the story of Black fathers who have a child on the spectrum (with special needs); Recognize the impact and importance of having a community or support group, especially within the African-American population; and Find out the internal letdowns usually experienced by fathers whose family member/s got diagnosed, and understand how and why fathers also need support “I believe African-Americans are communal people. I think we need each other in order for our children to grow and develop to be the most productive citizens possible.” – Nick Richardson Notable Quotes: “Everything that you knew about raising a child, nine times out of 10, came from you being that child being raised [by] your parents or grandparents or people who have poured into you. [But] none of that now matters. For the most part, you can't do and raise your child in the manner that you were raised. So, what you think you know, you now have to unlearn, and relearn what is necessary for your child's development.” – Nick Richardson “When you're going through all of this, the one thing you do not realize is that there are other men going through it, too.” – Nick Richardson “It's not just that brothers need brothers to understand that, but talking to other brothers helps you reflect on yourself. It kind of gives you a different perspective on what you can possibly do. In our support group, we don't tell anybody how to do anything. We give our stories, we give our experiences, we give the things that we've tried, and if it works for you, take it; if it doesn't work, see if another brother has a different experience that you can use to help you in your situation.” – Nick Richardson “We do a lot of sacrificing for our family because we care about them. We want our children to be the best versions of themselves as possible.” – Nick Richardson “The negative energy that I was giving, my son was just taking it and giving it back; it wasn't helping him. So, I could not discipline him the way I was disciplined. I had to find another way, which is where some of these trainings are coming in and talking to ABA therapists.” – Nick Richardson Mentions: My Autism In Black Conference Recap AutisHim DSM-5 Autism in Black Sign up at www.listentodrberry.com  to join the mailing list.
