Black fatherhood through my eyes Achebe Hoskins Reentry Specialist The Mentoring Center Oakland, California
The men and fathers in my life I grew up with men in my life. Some were more productive than others, some were more nurturing and attentive than others, but they were there. Fathers, stepfathers, grandfathers, great-grandfathers, uncles, greatuncles, play uncles, grown cousins, and some men whose relationship to the family is still a mystery. But these men played an active role in rearing us. They showed up.
