BBC documentary ‘Biology of Dads’ lays out the case for why some of the most damaging stereotypes associated with fatherhood must be thrown out.

Black Daddies Club founder Brandon Hay shares the personal story of his childhood and the experiences that led him to form the much needed resource for black fathers in the community.

The Black Daddies Club has dedicated the month of July to the voices of their daughters and wives. Each week, a different woman will reveal what she has learned from the special man in her life.
