Michael Ray with Rae Bonney - December 2022

Michael Ray was thrust into solo dad life at the tender age of 51, and (ironically) the experience opened his eyes to outdated gender expectations which ignited an unbridled passion to advocate for equality and change that includes everyone. His commitment to parental fairness is fierce, as it is inspiring, and he challenges social narratives to serve our positively evolving communities. During this show, I helped Michael unpack ideas around misinformed gender roles, when it comes to raising kids, and how societal value/support of ALL parents/carers is so important. In his very spare time, Michael penned an award winning and widely recognised book “Who Knew?” It celebrates modern day dads, where he openly discusses issues of mental health and ideas for raising our next generation – in light of the wonderful diversity of contemporary families. What does it feel like, being you, today? #raisingkids #genderroles #moderndads #mentalhealth #menshealth #nextgeneration #diversity #parenting #dads #daughters #parentalalienation
