A Word: Daddy Lessons
The stereotype of Black fathers is that they\u2019re largely absent, and uninvolved in their children\u2019s lives. And that image persists, despite research that suggests that Black fathers are often more involved in the daily care of their kids than white fathers. On today\u2019s episode of A Word, Jason Johnson is joined by Sean Williams, the founder of The Dad Gang, an organization that uplifts and supports Black and other marginalized fathers. They talk about the challenges of fatherhood, and building a community where dads can help each other.\n\nGuest: Sean Williams, founder of The Dad Gang\n\nPodcast production by Kristie Taiwo-Makanjuola\n\nWant more A Word?
