This New Documentary Series Shines A Spotlight On The Black Fatherhood Experience


March 22, 2019

Artist, videographer and creative, Boya Dee has just announced another new venture: the Black Father documentary series. Each episode will profile a group of young, black fathers as they talk about their experiences raising a child for the first time.

Episode one just went online and in it we meet Jordan, Takura and Rick. In the 10-minute episode, the three fathers discuss issues of avoiding negative stereotypes, having to explain racism to a young child, and learning from the successes and mistakes of their own parents.

It's a really revealing first episode, even if parenthood isn't on the cards for you any time soon. And if that is something that's in your immediate future, you might just learn something too.
