Being Black in America means many things\, but one of the most prevalent issues is experiencing racism daily on multiple fronts. From standard microaggressions on up to direct confrontations\, the men who’ll be waiting on their haircuts at our barbershop have experienced it all. \nParenthood through the Lens of the Black Dad: The Misconceptions\, Stereotypes\, and Truths of Black Fatherhood \nWe must consider how culture has shaped fatherhood in families and name the misconceptions and stereotypes. These misconceptions and stereotypes often create barriers for fathers in need\, especially in communities of color. \nFor centuries\, there have been institutional barriers facing fathers\, as well as common beliefs that family only includes mother and child\, and that the father is just a “provider.” The importance of Black fathers is often overlooked and minimized. \nIn addition to discussing the these challenges this virtual barbershop will discuss the positive traits of Black fathers that often get ignored or misperceived. For example\, the narrative of the “absent Black father” continues to live in the minds of most\, like many other racial stereotypes. \nJoin African American male leaders from the sector as they dive into the value of Black fathers and discuss the long-lasting effects of systemic oppression\, roles and norms of fatherhood\, and the challenges of being a Black father. They will also discuss the joys\, stories\, and lessons learned from personal experiences and how community-based organizations can rethink strategies around supporting Black fathers and their families. \nAbout the Virtual Barbershop \nThe barbershop is the one of the few safe places where Black men feel very comfortable in having candid conversations on just about anything. All over America\, the barbershop continues to serve as a second home and place of refuge\, healing\, and compassion for Black men. \nThis virtual space will feature several Black male executives from around the country\, sharing their experiences and recommendations for advancing anti-racist leadership and championing equity-focused action in human services organizations. Just like in any barbershop\, anyone is welcome to drop in at any time based on their availability and interest. \nCatch Up with the Barbers on Previous Visits \n\nBlack Men in Leadership—From Conversation to Sustainable Action\nLeading Positive Change amid Social and Political Unrest\nBlack Male Executives on COVID-19\nAddressing COVID-19 Disparities and the Vaccine Rollout\nBuilding Family Resilience by Supporting Black Fathers\nSupporting Black Students in the Classroom\n\nTakeaways\n\nSeparating the stereotypes and truths of Black fathers\nThe importance of supporting fathers through family supporting services\nHow the current systems affect Black fathers today\nStrategies to advocate\, support\, and give voice to Black fathers\nRecognizing the strength and protective factors in Black fathers\n\nWho Should Participate\n\nExecutives\nDirectors\nProgram managers\nHuman resources staff\nBoard members\n\n \n\n \n\n \n \n \n\n\n \n \n \n The Barbers\n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Undraye P.
