Public Service Announcement/1

True, this site focuses on "Healthy Hair" for the most part, but this month, we'll be adding at least one Public Service Announcement every 30 days. These PSAs, part of our core commitment to identify, inform and resolve topics of interest in our Beloved Community, are designed to initiate the conversation(s) needed to move towards resolution; we can't BE ABOUT IT until we talk about it.


While I don't know which is worst, NOT HAVING a father in the home or HAVING a bad father in the home, I do know that each leaves it’s own major scars, sometimes for life. I have been affected as I've watched, consoled, supported and uplifted those in my inner circle as they continue to deal with this (too) common life experience first hand.

So, for me, the absent father ought not to be our individual excuse(s). When all is said and done, we make our own decisions in/about life, with or without a father, with or without scars. There are some things we may never have, there are some experiences that will never be ours, and yes---our foundations may not have been what they should have been---but when all is said and done, each one of us makes the decision about what this life will mean to and for us. And, intentionally or not--- we pass that on to our children.

Please watch this Public Service Announcement (PSA) that shows the devastating impact of fatherless homes on the African American community. Leave a comment and let us know what you think of this incredibly powerful VIDEO.
