I am not a Baby Daddy!

12/25/2020

0 Comments

 
At the end of the last A Little Fatherly Advice, a father made a comment about the difficulty he has been experiencing with the mother of his child.  He expressed the desire to be active and involved but being roadblocked.  Due to his comments, we thought it would be a good time to discuss the topic of being a non custodial father and how to repair broken relationships in the best interest of the child.  Register to join us on Zoom or watch on Facebook.   Register here:

November Update

12/5/2020

0 Comments

 
Another month, and I forgot to blog...Geesh!  I guess, we've been busy.  For the month of November, we dropped 5 new Fatherhood Manolouges from a collaboration with the summer Arts Mentors program.  We had 5 artist add their poetic twist on the Fatherhood Manolouges.  Their videos can be viewed here. 

We continued on with A Little Fatherly Advice, facilitated by Demetrius Chamblee and Abdul-Rahmaan I. Muhammad.  The video from our last group can be viewed here.

We conducted our Turning 50 Barriers to Fatherhood Engagement into 50 Opportunities for Fatherhood Engagement training virtually for the Manchester Connecticut office of DCF over for sessions throughout the month.

We started a new group of five for our Manhood Tree eight week Manhood Tree curriculum.  This group of men will be graduating on December 21, 2020.  We also hope each of them will be doing a Fatherhood Manolouge to add to our offering of stories about being a father or being fathered.

We are a step closer to putting out our first Fatherhood Pole.  At this point all we have to do is attach the signs, dig a hole and display our work.  Stay tuned!

Lastly, we have been promoting "The 5 Hoods Photo Contest".  More information can be found here.

Most importantly, download the Men's Health Initiative form and go get checked!  Your health is the most important thing you can do for your family, friends and for yourself.

Stay connected.  We are launching our podcast in 2021 and we are excited about getting our voice out to the world.

Peace.

It has been over a month since the last time I blogged about anything...I have to do better.  The thing is, we (The Manhood Tree Initiatives and I) have been busy.  Since the last time I wrote, we have completed The Manhood Tree group with the majority of the men that work at My People Clinical Services (that's close to 40 men)! We have also been working on the Fatherhood Pole and hope to have the first one in the ground by Thanksgiving.  On last Monday, we started to debut on Facebook and on this website the latest group of Fatherhood Manologues from our summer collaboration with Arts Mentors,  Check out Frederick Douglass Knowles II here.  We will have four more Manolouges debut over the next few weeks.  This Saturday, October 31, 2020 at 10 am, we have our latest "A Little Fatherly Advice" group.  So grab your kids and join in, you can find more information here.  We have secured another round of fatherhood training with DCF (YEAH!) where will be helping them turn 50 Barriers to Fatherhood Engagement to 50 Opportunities for Fatherhood Engagement.  Lastly, in the coming days, we will be putting out information on the 5 Hoods Winter Photo Contest so stay tuned.  I will try to do better with keeping the blog up going forward.  Until next time, Peace!

The Manhood Tree Men's Health Initiative

9/13/2020

The Manhood Tree has created a new initiative focusing on Men's Health.  After the passing of Chadwick Boseman (may he rest in peace), we decided it was extremely important for us to take a stand and pull something together to help men address their health issues.  We decided to create a card that details many of the exams and appointments needed for men to stay ahead of any issues that could be detrimental to their lives.  go to the Men's Health Initiative page and download the card today!
