Feeling Isolated in Your Fatherhood Journey?
It’s a familiar story: You’re balancing work, life, and the immense responsibility of raising children while trying to maintain your identity. You might feel like you’re navigating this path alone, wrestling with self-doubt and the pressure of criticism. The lack of a supportive community can leave you second-guessing your parenting choices. You’re not alone in this struggle. Black Fathers Thrive invites you to this exceptional group cycle. In Audre Lorde’s (1934-1992) words, “Without community, there is no liberation…”
