This Father Really Loves His Daughter

Meet Ross. Ross is an acclaimed photographer, a devoted husband and the proud father of a bouncing baby girl. Ross was gracious enough to take a few moments to share his thoughts on fatherhood with me and is the inaugural subject of my new docu-series called Fatherhood In Black: Because We Do Exist.

The mission of this message is to promote the reality that men of color, particularly African American men, are dedicated, involved and loving parents despite what much of mainstream media promotes and in contrast to what many believe.

This inaugural entry will eventually evolve into a very large project. Please view and share, this video and this blog post, as much as you like as I hope you will share in my personal passion to truly propel and position positive images of fatherhood. We're here, and always have been --- in plain sight.

On Getting Married: A Man's Point of View

"I wonder how the groom feels right now...?" asked no one ever at a wedding. These days men are opening up about their marriages like never before. But the actual wedding day is something entirely different and something where I'd argue a man is ultimately more, prop than person in the fantastic day designed and built for brides. A man's point of view on his Big Day is rarely a consideration, but men actually do have a role in the whole experience and the perspective to match. Check out this slick book trailer for Ross Oscar Knight's recent release, In His Moment.

From the author:
In His Moment is a must read book for men and women before getting married. During a wedding, a groom's thoughts and words can easily surrender to the commotion around him, often going unnoticed. In his first book, Ross Oscar Knight explores the stories behind some of his most memorable images of men. Order your copy here.
