Celebrities Share What Fatherhood Means
Fatherhood
is one of the cornerstones of our society. The role of a father in
shaping a young boy or girl’s life cannot be overstated. Sadly, too
often in the African American community, that role is diminished. But,
contrary to popular perception, black fatherhood is alive and well. As
we prepare to celebrate another Father’s Day, here’s what a few celebs
had to say about the joys of being a dad. –dusty culpepper

Ryan Cameron V-103 Atlanta “Fatherhood is the most important thing. [It’s] huge for us. It’s a big month. We do the Father Daughter dance every year [because] father and daughter relationships are great.” |

Lil Scrappy Recording artist “To me, fatherhood means being superdad. Being there for your daughter or son anytime they need you or they’re in a function. Show them that you care and show them the ropes. Just be there for them, 130 percent.” |

Roger Bobb Tyler Perry Studios “Fatherhood means so much. I look forward to always spending time with my [children.] What better way to celebrate Father’s Day?” |

Q Parker Recording artist, 112 “Fatherhood means a lot to me. I love my son and daughter dearly and I’m a product of growing up in a mother/father household and I see the benefits of having a father figure. I’m here to be supportive and let them know that daddy loves them.” |

Rico Wade Organized Noize Producer “You have to spend time. I love my kids. That’s what being a parent is about. The kids are the future, so we’ve always got to protect the kids.” |
