My Father, My First Hero

In this episode, I’m talking about the first man I ever loved — my dad. The singer, the soldier, the joker, and my very first hero. From dancing on his feet in our West Side kitchen to sneaking candy from under my pillow, my dad taught me love, independence, and faith in the most unforgettable ways. But as I got older, I also learned that even heroes are human. This episode is a reflection on what it means to love and forgive the people who raised us — and how their lessons shape the women we become.
