The Way I See It...

We take a deep dive into the changing dynamics of co-parenting, split time, holidays, and the emotional ups and downs (for Dad the the kids) that revolve around becoming a single father.

Just when you think you’ve got it all figured out with your first child, you go for number two. Oh, how sweet (and hectic) it is. We take on the ups and downs of growing your family and the roller coaster ride it can be at times.

Shutdowns, mask mandates, working from home with kids around. As parents, these are a few of the many things associated with attempting to parent during a pandemic. We’ll explore these topics in great detail in our first virtual podcast session.

We tackle the idea of the head of the house and its effects on the family unit in the eyes of our kids, our spouse, and society. Is head of the house gender specific? Can it be a divided role? Is it an outdated concept? We’ll explore these questions in greater detail.

We kick off season 2 with an in-depth look at the phenomenon we call ‘The Dad Bod’. Is it passive aggressive? Is it lazy? Is it a term to make dads feel better? We’ll discuss the positive and negative effects of this new catch phrase.

Today we pick up where we left off on our discussion of raising boys. We dive in deeper to more hot-button topics such as having ‘the talk’, external perceptions, and doing good in this world.

Today we explore the father/son dynamic in all of its complexities. From the challenges to the triumphs, we discuss the goals of creating a ‘mini me’ as we strive to create upstanding young men of color in society.

The father-daughter bond is a powerful connection. Today, we discuss the unique dynamic of raising daughters. From protecting your little princess to hair rituals, we dive into the may joys and fears of having a Daddy’s girl.

Statistics show a 40% graduation rate for students of color when there’s also a teacher of color in the school. Today we host high school teacher Duane Moore to dive into the topic of the importance of a father’s presence in the school system, both as an engaged father of a student, as well as an educator.

As men and fathers, do we do enough to take care of ourselves? Do we take on the role of Superman in every aspect of our lives? Are we allowing ourselves to be vulnerable enough to ask for help? Today we get to a new level of transparency that fathers may not allow ourselves to get to.
