Dr. M at Black Fatherhood Challenge 2012

Dr. M/Marvin X will participate in a discussion on black fatherhood at New York's Fatherhoodchallenge on Tuesday, October 30, 6-8pm, at Interactive One. You are invited! "Even though my children are grown and have children themselves, they still need and seek fatherly advice from me. One of my students at the Academy of da Corner, downtown Oakland, was so happy the daughter he is raising was soon turning 18 and would be out of his house. I told him, Brother, she might be out of your house but she will hardly be out of your life. Sorry to inform you, your troubles are just beginning, i.e., she will need your help and advice for the rest of her life. One of my daughters told me she was having a mid-life crisis, so I tried to walk her through it. My own mid-life crisis was a most traumatic experience so helping her was easy."
