brothaFather Q & A #6

Roger Boniar-Agard | Age 49 | Father of 1

 

Being a father in one word?

Humbling.

There's no blueprint for "good" parenting/fathering, in what way(s) do you think you could improve as a father?

Consistency in discipline.

What are you most proud of in terms of what you believe you’ve done right as a dad?

I have never not shown up when I said I would. Never.

 

What scares you most about the world our kids are growing up in?

That it might not exist. that my daughter is a black woman in a world insisting it will bark louder at her than anyone else.

Most important life lessons that you want your kids to learn? (list or discuss up to 3)

That there is nothing such as talent; only hard work and that if she works hard enough at the thing that's difficult to figure out, she will figure it out.

Any insights or words of encouragement for new or expecting fathers?

Your instincts are more important than your traditions. trust them.
