Black Men Matter Series: Breaking Myths, Presence, Perception & the Truth About Black Fatherhood | C.A. Truthwell

In this episode of The Male Perspective, Lana Reid sits down with C.A. Truthwell - Author of Breaking the Myth, to discuss the realities of Black fatherhood and the harmful narratives that continue to shape public perception and policy. Truthwell explains how fathers are often perceived as absent despite being actively involved in their children's lives, whether they live in the home or outside of it. He also shares examples of how Black fathers can be overlooked, dismissed, or excluded despite their consistent presence and contributions as parents.The conversation also explores what character traits, values, and life skills communities should be intentionally pouring into boys today to help prepare them to become healthy fathers tomorrow. Truthwell discusses the importance of Black men telling their own stories, the value of support systems among fathers, and why people should pause and consider before blindly believing negative stereotypes about Black fatherhood. By challenging assumptions, society can collectively build stronger families and create spaces where Black fathers can be seen, heard, and supported. 𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗻 𝗖.𝗔.
