This is why he co-founded the Mentoring Initiative for Indigenous and Planners of Colour (MIIPOC).

Meghan Markle used her 40th Birthday to issue a call to action asking us to volunteer 40 minutes of our time to someone in need. For her part Meghan committed to doing the same and she asked 40 friends, activists, athletes, artists, and world leaders to contribute 40  minutes of mentorship to support women re-entering the workforce. The initiative is called 40x40. Meghan got her birthday message via an open letter published on hers and Harry's Archewell website, and in a novel little comedy skit that saw Meghan and comedian and actor Melissa McCarthy poking fun at themselves. In her open letter Meghan reminded us of the disproportionate impact that COVID-19 has had on women, many of whom have had to adapt their work life or even give up their jobs to resume childcare or care for relatives as a result of the pandemic.So, who are the 40 friends and associates of Meghan that she asked to join her in her 40x40 project ? According to an article written by Omid Scobie and published in Harpers Bazaar these include singer Adele, poet Amanda Gorman, Deepak Chopra, Kendi, Gloria Steinem, Chef Andrés, Dr. Nadine Burke Harris, Canadian Prime Minister's wife Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, and fashion designer Stella McCartney.In other birthday news, members of the Meghan supporter's club the Sussex Squad raised over $47,000.00 in honour of Meghan's 40th Birthday,  with the money being donated to Myna Mahila foundation in India.I love the fact that once again Meghan came out with something completely unexpected for her birthday, sending a message to the tabloids that they got it wrong, again! This is certain to annoy the media so we can expect some anti Meghan news by way of fall out over the next few days. Please keep listening for future podcasts on all things Meghan, Harry, Archie and Lili.

The book’s editor, magazine industry veteran Kenrya Rankin Naasel, was raised by an amazing single dad. Bet on Black: African-American Women Celebrate Fatherhood in the Age of Barack Obama is the book every father should want his daughter to write. Through this collection of thoughtful essays, twenty women wrestle with the much maligned image of the Black dad and shed light on the touching relationships they have with the dynamic fathers in their lives. Inspired by President Barack Obama’s commitment to encouraging and supporting responsible fathers by creating the President’s Fatherhood and Mentoring Initiative, Bet on Black is a standout among the trove of songs, movies and books about motherhood. Too often in popular culture, Black fathers are either absent or characterized as deadbeat sperm donors who have little regard for the families they leave in their wake. Bet on Black shatters these stereotypes.

Celebrate fathers with us today. Never underestimate the power of positive fathers. Resources:  President Obama's Fatherhood and Mentoring Initiative - http://www.fatherhood.gov/
