“Dad, Can We Talk?”

Can We Talk Networkwww.dadcanwetalk.com
"Dad, Can We Talk?" was founded by Anthony Ray with the intention of challenging the negative stereotypes surrounding black fatherhood perpetuated by the media. Anthony recognized that fatherhood, in general, was often stigmatized and portrayed in a negative light. In response, he created a platform called Dad, Can We Talk? to showcase the amazing fathers he personally knew. DCWT serves as a space where fathers from all walks of life can share their experiences, uplift each other, and foster a sense of camaraderie.
