Shout out to Carlton, Daddy's Boy Dad, and Rod's brother, Kervens, for introducing me to Coach Rod because of the passion that we share for lifting up fatherhood. In Rod's case, he is the co-creator of Black Dad Unfiltered, a media company dedicated to showcasing the profound influence of Black fatherhood. Although Black Dad Unfiltered is only a year old, they’ve created an incredible amount of positivity on YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest - basically every platform in addition to their podcast - driven by their mission to inform, inspire, and create positive change by elevating the contributions of Black fathers.At the surface, Black Dad Unfiltered and The Dad Bod look as different as Rod and me. But when we met on Zoom for an intro call, we immediately recognized the intertwined roots of our two creative endeavors. I was grateful for the opportunity to create this episode as a Black Dad Unfiltered - Dad Bod collaboration. I would describe the approach we took to the conversation as the Dad Bod melody set to the rhythm and rhyme of Black Dad Unfiltered. Is that what they call a remix? A mashup? Whatever it is, I hope it's the first of many collaborations, because what you're about to hear is a fun, meaningful conversation on important topics and stories that touch upon who we are as sons, men, and dads.Check out more from Black Dad Unfiltered on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, X, and Pinterest.
