According to the Statista Research Department, 4.25 million black families were led by single mothers as recently as 2020. What those statistics can’t and won’t show is black fathers like Quiencey Simpson (Instagram: @isthatqc). The co-owner of RIch Running Clothing (Instagram: @richrunningclothing) handles his business as the father of 5 kids and as a member of the fashion industry. We’re shining a light on Quiencey during Episode 54 of the #ChoppedByTPodcast. T and Scoe discussed what it was like for Quiencey growing up as an identical twin, raising a set of twin girls now, the purpose behind RIch Running clothing, and more!
