Celebrating Black Fatherhood: Triumphs and Trials in Parenting
“I'm a Christian, you know, and so one of the things that we're taught is always to be nice, and that was part of my challenge at that time is that I thought that, for me, being a man of faith meant that I had to really be gentle in every experience, and it took me Years to realize that you know some aspects of giving my children the best, and being the best that I could for my children was going to require me to turn up the heat, you know, to make sure that my rights as a father was going to be upheld, you know, and it was a long battle.”
