Welcome to the Black Fatherhood podcast, a Writeidea8 & Policarpa Studios production. This podcast has one purpose: to share widely the beauty and joy of Black fatherhood. Media often portrays black fathers as lacking values and stability, always barely surviving and enveloped in violence.

​

This narrative perpetuates stereotypes, but most powerfully omits the many stories of black fathers thriving. The omission of love, kindness, joy, and stability within narratives of black fatherhood is detrimental and a purposeful silencing of an existing reality.

 

The Black Fatherhood podcast is a counter-narrative. It is steeped in love and intentionally chooses a medium with the widest access. This is an artistic collaboration between me and our host, Jamaal Collier.
