Andrew shares his journey from being a young, single father of two sons to his current role as a father to a blended family of three sons, one daughter, two stepsons, and three young men he helped raise.<br /><br />Andrew speaks candidly about the challenges he faced combating negative perceptions of Black parenthood and debunking the pervasive stereotype that Black fathers are absent from their children's lives.
