Provider and Protector — Revisited

In this episode, I speak to Dr. Maria Johnson and Dr. Ronald Mincy about the unspoken social contract men are born into, and by which we often measure fatherhood – to protect and provide. Together, these academics and experts provide an in-depth social, cultural, economic, and historical analysis of the protector and provider roles and how it applies to Black fathers. We also explore how the roles of protector and provider are evolving and how Black men are embracing and expanding how they sustain their families. 

Black men have always been fathers, and remain the most involved group of fathers across many domains of childcare activities. Black fathers love their children. Black fathers support their families. Back fathers continue to work hard for their families and communities.
