What does being a father mean to you?
Describe your experience with your father growing up and how that impacted you today.
My father was murdered when I was 2 years old. I had brothers, uncle’s and other men in my life who made sure I had a fair chance to succeed in my life.
What things/tools/gems did you take from your experience growing up into your Fatherhood journey today?
As a father of four adult daughters I am blessed because having daughters has made a better father and human being. I worked in the Criminal Justice System for 20yrs and K-12 Education for 10yrs.
Have you had any obstacles on your fatherhood journey? If so, explain.
I have had many obstacles during my journey as a father, I look at life through a totally different lense because of my professional experiences and this has allowed me to always make the necessary adjustments as a father for my daughters in rearing them.
What advice would you give other Fathers on their journey?
If you could write a quick letter to your father, starting with “Dear Father,” what would you say?
I would tell my father, Thank you for the time I had with you because I turned out to become a decent human being and an asset to the world.
