For far too long, the narrative has been painted, skewed, and disseminated without hearing from the men. The black man is not a monolith or a generic stereotype, we have stories, wisdom, and knowledge to share when it comes to fatherhood.   We are not just baby daddies!!!   We are fathers, providers, counselors, protectors, and many wear many other hats. We have viewpoints, experiences, and information to share with those interested in knowing what we go through, thinking of having children, raising bonus children, or even dealing with children with mental or physical challenges.  _______________   Listen to the Just My Baby Daddy Podcast - with weekly Daddy Knows Best segments here: iTunes: https://cutt.ly/AOzPKLa Spotify: https://cutt.ly/YOzP0uK Google Play: https://cutt.ly/NOzAryl _______________    Follow #JustMyBabyDaddyPod on Social Media:  -Instagram: https://cutt.ly/ZOzAET8  -Facebook: https://cutt.ly/VOzAxL8  -Twitter: @JMBDPod  -Checkout my website http://www.justmybabydaddy.com/   ️ Follow our Co-Hosts on Instagram:  AJ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alajauan/  Eli Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/elieverett1911/   The Just My Baby Daddy Podcast is here to deliver compelling content that aims to inspire, educate, and shed light from the perspective of the black father through genuine, authentic, and real conversation.  ️ No copyright infringement intended.
