Dad-ing in the Pandemic Episode

Our final episode before the Finale of Season I. After discussing co-parenting, we had to devote an episode that focuses on dads, as we know that the voices of Dads are often not heard, focusing more on mothers, but we both know the important role that dads play in the lives of children. We particularly wanted to give BIPOC men, particularly Black fathers, a voice, as we know that many of the negative stereotypes of Black fathers are simply not true; a study conducted by the CDC confirmed what many of us already knew. In the words of one of our guests, Black fathers are given every label except "present", and we know that that is simply not true. We want to thank Aubrey LeGrier of Dads Unlimited, Derek Thomas of Real Dads Network, and Scott Leach of the New York City Department of Youth and Community Development for sitting down with us to have this very important discussion and helping us provide some education for two mothers and our audience.



We want to thank all of you who have joined us on this journey and listened to our thoughts and the expert opinion of our guests. We hope all of you have learned as much as we have from tuning in, as we have from recording them. Look out for our season finale, as we reflect back on everything we have learned from our guests who have all provided us with valuable insight.
