Description

#1 Podcast for Black Fatherhood! Our official podcast hosted by our Co-Founder Jesse Alex unpacks the many joys and hurdles of black fatherhood with our celebrity guests. Jesse, who grew up without a Father, and recently reconnected with his Dad after 21 years, uses this platform as a learning experience as we talk to your favorite celebrity dads about their journey through parenting, careers, mental health, and the balance of it all. Most times, when celebrities are interviewed, it's about what they've done in their careers. Whether you're an actor, athlete, or entertainer, most people only focus on who you are in your craft. Our goal with the Dear Fathers podcast is to humanize black fathers making an impact on the culture by learning who they are as black men and dads.
