Lately when I am even around my backyard I am afraid that a White man with a gun might just show up and make things complicated for me. This is a thought that I deal with more often since the untimely killing of Ahmed Aubrey while he was on a Sunday afternoon jog in a White dominated neighborhood of Brunswick in Georgia.
I live in a White dominated neighborhood and it’s hard for me to feel safe. I am not sure how it is for other Black fathers, especially those who love running like Ahmed Aubrey.
I am struggling with how to train my kids to love during a time like this when hate is prevalent and racism is so potent. I hope that all African fathers and everyone who listens to the African Father In America podcast can act in ways that show your commitment to changing this world for the better. It takes the whole village.
