When all you’ve ever known is survival, healing look suspicious. Especially when it shows up in tender moments between a father and his daughter. anayazhenry painted my nails—and folks had a lot to say. But here’s the truth: I’m not trying to fit into anybody’s version of manhood. I’m building one that leaves room for love, creativity, and connection. This ain’t about nail polish. It’s about showing up for our kids in ways that matter to them. It’s about raising children who feel safe, heard, and seen. Black fatherhood doesn’t have to look how it did before. And if that makes me look suspicious… I’m okay with that. 🖤 Shoutout to peopleofcolorbeauty for the polish. Shoutout to my daughter for the joy. And shoutout to the fathers learning how to be engaged, not just present. Let’s keep growing. Let’s keep healing. Let’s keep showing up. #BeleafInFatherhood #BlackFatherhood #GirlDad #RedefiningManhood #EngagedFathers
