The launch of Strength of the Father: Affirmations for Black Dads marks a pivotal moment in the narrative of Black fatherhood. Written by Kenneth Braswell, CEO of Fathers Incorporated, this groundbreaking journal is designed to cultivate resilience, self-love, and wisdom in Black fathers, essential elements which allow them to navigate their unique journey.
“This journal is a tangible embodiment of my commitment to uplift the voices and experiences of Black fathers,” Braswell articulates. “It serves as a guide, a companion, and a reflective tool that showcases the inherent strength and potential of each Black father.”
Strength of the Father seeks to reframe the discourse around Black fatherhood, empowering Black fathers to rewrite their own narratives and reinforce their mental fortitude. Braswell emphasizes the importance of this process: “Our mental health is about more than coping with life’s challenges. It’s about nurturing our potential to grow, to learn, and to create positive change. Self-affirmations are an integral part of this journey.”
The journal provides daily affirmations tailored to the experiences of Black fathers, encouraging them to have a regular, transformative dialogue with the self. This dialogue can spark a powerful internal shift, influencing how Black fathers perceive themselves and their place in the world.
“Fathers Incorporated has always been driven by the belief that empowering fathers empowers families,” says Braswell. “With Strength of the Father, we hope to inspire Black dads to recognize their importance within their families and society at large. Each affirmation serves as a reminder of their worth, strength, and invaluable role as fathers.”
Strength of the Father is more than a journal; it’s a celebration of Black fatherhood, an affirmation of Black identity, and a powerful tool for personal growth and emotional resilience. It weaves together the threads of self-love, overcoming adversity, legacy building, leadership, spiritual growth, emotional intelligence, health and wellness, relationship building, personal growth, cultural pride, social justice, and the joys of fatherhood.
“This journal is not just about the individual affirmations,” Braswell elucidates, “but the collective power they hold when embraced consistently. Each affirmation is a stepping stone on the journey towards a healthier, happier, and more fulfilled life.”
