Black fathers are often portrayed as absent or distant, but that isn’t what most people experience, according to both data and Black dads themselves. Such biased portrayals are often based on who is telling the story.
As he was growing up, Jeremy Givens says the narrative he heard around Black fathers was different than the one he lived. In movies, television and generalized conversation, they were portrayed as absent, not engaged and overall, not very good fathers, he said. “In my own experiences — not just with my father but with my uncles and my colleagues and my grandfathers — it was something that was polar opposite, something that was wonderful, that was inspiring, that was nourishing,” Givens said.
Even when a biological father isn’t present, the role can be filled by other men who care about the child — an important concept in African American culture, Noble said. “You can have perhaps multiple fathers or father figures and grandparents, who can play a very strong role that is just as strong, if not stronger than the father,” she said.
