In the United States, 25% of all fathers live in residences apart from their biological children 18 years and under. The role of fathers in the Black community has been overshadowed due to the number of Black households without fathers. Despite this fact, the role of fathers in the Black community cannot be overemphasized. Fathers play a significant role in providing, protecting, and rebuilding the community.
In this episode of Hey, I’m Listening, Ken Gordons about The Role of Fathers in Rebuilding the Black Community.
Ken Gordon is a business executive, pastor, husband, father, award-winning author, and community servant. He is a highly sought-after speaker on leadership, public service, civil rights, and parenting. He and his wife live in an empty nest in Charlotte, NC, and have four “adulting” children, two precious grandchildren, and a cockapoo.
