A Black Father’s Journey

The SonRise Project creator, Kelli Richardson Lawson, introduces her husband, Keith Lawson. A dedicated father and 30-year veteran in the TV and Music industries, Keith shares his perspective on the challenges of raising two black sons in America today. Like so many others, he struggles with protecting his sons in a conflicted world, while also trying to give them space to find themselves. A little over three years ago, his oldest son had a near fatal mental health crisis. Keith shares his experience, strength and hope about the family’s road to recovery… which he says is still a work in progress.
