A relatable and practical guide, shaking up the narrative on what it means to be a present-day father
Father of three, Motivational Speaker and Influencer Bodé Aboderin (AKA Papa B) is on a mission to show the world that Black fatherhood is not only compatible with ambition, but can inspire, nourish and amplify it too.
Doing away with the negative stereotypes associated with being a Black dad in Britain, Papa B is using his natural flair for motivational speech to share the joyful and transformative journey of starting a family, including the challenges involved and the opportunities to grow along the way.
Bodé reflects on how his own upbringing, alongside stigmas about fatherhood, race, and masculinity, have impacted his experiences of being a father, and talks candidly about how to overcome challenges commonly experienced by parents – from breaking generational cycles and adapting to modern-day family dynamics to communicating with your child and achieving a healthy work-life balance.
Bodé Aboderin is a Motivational Speaker and Influencer. Recently bestowed with the honour of being the only male speaker at Pregnant Then Screwed, a festival celebrating mothers with careers, Papa B is going from strength to strength. Whether he’s empowering his viewers to overcome their hurdles on his IGTV series ‘Papa Don’t Preach!’, or tackling the thought-provoking issues of the day with his wife, Candice Brathwaite, on their weekly podcast ‘Pillow Talk’, Papa B is shifting the narrative on what it means to be a father. @iam_papab
