Black Fatherhood for Parents.com

Finalist — Eddie & Ozzie Awards (Long-Form Feature Content), 2021

For this Parents.com feature, I set out to document the depth and range of Black fatherhood—an experience too often flattened into a single narrative. Through portraits and interviews with fathers across generations and backgrounds, the project highlights the individuality within a shared role: the joy, the responsibility, the vulnerability, and the quiet evolution that happens as men learn and grow alongside their children.

Each story reveals a different ideology, a different rhythm of parenting, a different path toward presence. Together, the series forms a broader truth: Black fatherhood is expansive, nuanced, and infinite—defined not by stereotype, but by humanity, love, and the courage to raise the next generation with intention.
