Reviving Fatherhood: What the Black Community Needs Now! | Off Code #71

About this episode

The episode discusses the importance of fatherhood in the Black community with author Brian Shannon, focusing on his children's book 'My Daddy's Shoes'.

In this episode, we talk with author Brian Shannon about his new children’s book, My Daddy's Shoes. Through this story, Brian highlights the reality that children—especially boys—need fathers who are present, active, and consistent. The “big shoes” of fatherhood represent more than size or maturity; they represent the faith, character, and wisdom that fathers pass down to their children. We discuss the vital role fathers play in shaping their children and how the investment a father makes today prepares the next generation to step confidently into the world tomorrow.
