Fathers Forever

Juneteenth is a reminder of freedom, resilience, and the strength that carried generations forward. ✊🏾

For Black fathers, that history carries deep meaning.

Through slavery, separation, systemic barriers, and generations of hardship, Black fathers have continued to love, provide, protect, teach, and fight to stay connected to their families and children. Their presence has always mattered, even in systems that tried to erase it.

We honor that legacy today. We celebrate the fathers showing up, healing, rebuilding, and creating new paths for the next generation.

Because freedom is not just about breaking chains. It’s also about restoring families, reclaiming identity, and building futures filled with hope.

Watch & Share. Happy Juneteenth 🖤❤️💚

Wednesday marked the inaugural Bring Him All The Way Home Leadership Summit, and what unfolded in that room exceeded every expectation.

Thank you to our distinguished speakers and special guests:

— First Lady Anna Stein, North Carolina (Special Guest)
— Dr. Warren, Executive Director, Fathers Forever
— Lateisha Thrash, Director, Re-Entry
— Sheriff Rowe, Wake County
— Commissioner Tara Waters, District 5
— Alan Pitstick, Judicial District 10
— James Johnson, Wake LRC

And thank you to every attendee who showed up ready to do the work. Workforce leaders, judges, faith communities, corrections officials, funders, and community advocates. You proved that when sectors stop operating in silos, real change becomes possible.

90% of men returning from incarceration are fathers. Their reentry doesn't end at the g*te. Yesterday, North Carolina's leadership came together to commit to going all the way.

This is the beginning of a partnership, not the end of an event. We'll be sharing concrete next steps in the coming weeks. If you want to stay close to the work, follow Fathers Forever here or visit afatherforever.com.

Today is more than a long weekend. 🇺🇸

We pause to remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our nation. Their courage, service, and sacrifice continue to leave an impact far beyond the battlefield.

As we spend time with family and loved ones today, may we also take a moment to honor those who gave everything.

Remembering with gratitude. Honoring with respect.
