FTF provides them with the necessary tools and support to intentionally and proactively
re-engage back into their children's lives
Through a combination of resources, education, mentorship, and community outreach, we strive to equip fathers with the skills, knowledge, and emotional support they need to establish meaningful connections with their children.
BIPOC is culturally grounded, community-centered learning environments that nurture children’s identity, development, and belonging while intentionally addressing inequities from the very start.
We are helping to intentionally ending cycles of trauma, oppression, and limitation by reclaiming healing, power, knowledge, and self-determination for future generations.
Playing chess helps navigate life by strengthening strategic thinking, patience, confidence, and foresight—skills that empower them to anticipate challenges, outmaneuver obstacles, and recognize their own power in a world that often underestimates them.

On the night of Tuesday, Aug. 29, while moving into a new house, Maleek James found a journal he kept while incarcerated in federal prison.
"In my journal, I spoke about [this studio] in prison," James said. "I wrote it down in prison in 2013. I wrote Headquarters Barber Shop, sports bar lounge, a waffle house, waffles and chicken. I almost cried reading all the [stuff] in my journal that I wrote during my seven years [in prison]...I was making contracts with the universe."
James, known as Brian Womack by many, is the owner of Headquarters Barbershop, but he wears many hats. His barbershop includes a stage in the back where he’s hosted live performances and then upstairs, he has a studio with plans to soon create a podcast.

Fatherhood the Foundation envisions a future where absent fathers are fully supported and empowered...
Fatherhood the Foundation is a 501c3 Non-Profit organization. We need the community's help to help the community's father's re-engage.
We'd love your support! Get involved and join us whether you're a father or father-figure, a mother, son, sister or brother, we don't mind...
Fathers strive to reconnect with their children, recognizing the profound and lasting effect this has on both individuals and society as a whole. Support us and soar!
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 18.3 million children, 1 in 4, live without a biological, step, or adoptive father in the home. Fatherlessness is an epidemic that transcends racial, cultural, and socio-economical barriers. Join us in eliminating this societal enigma one family at a time.
Our foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization created to help end the fatherless epidemic, one family at a time.

-Isaiah 1:17 NIV
Many children and indeed adults, carry a father-wound inflicted by careless or absent fathers. Many men who are now fathers still feel the old wounds inflicted by their own father and Faults. The challenge is to break this generational cycle and create a better place for our children. Mothers will also reap the benefits of more involved and committed fathers. We are talking about education, support, recognition and a mutual sense of achievement for groups of men who together strive for excellence in the most important task of their lives. Men partnering together for a fathering break-through.
The cost of fatherlessness and the associated harm caused by fatherlessness is very high in emotional, physical and monetary terms. The lack of an involved, protective, committed, responsible and loving father has been shown through social science research to contribute to an increase in child poverty, child sexual abuse, child emotional abuse, child physical abuse, child and adult drug abuse, child and adult increase in suicide, child and adult self-harm, child and adult incarceration and much other destructive and abusive human behavior.
The harmful effects of faithlessness have been documented in many TV shows and specials. "Faithlessness can be defined as the absence of an active, positive father-influence in the lives of children." Faithlessness is both a natural and spiritual problem. It needs strategic and synergistic partnerships that should involve government, business, church, community, faith-based charities and secular charities.
