My dear boy, not a moment goes by when you’re not on my mind and in my heart. This will be the 3rd Easter we’re blocked from each other, but I’m working hard to ensure this doesn’t continue to happen again. You are my pride and joy! You’re the coolest bunny in the world. Love you so much son! Happy Easter! - Dad #HappyEaster by @dwadestory

Every day after work, I would take your mother to the beach. We had a pre-packed bag, beach tent, and a pop-up fire pit. Since I worked from home, I usually finished work by 3 PM and headed straight to the beach afterward. When I made these videos, I didn’t have Facebook. I created a new Facebook account when my son was born in June 2022 specifically for family. So, why am I posting these now? Simple…because I can. It’s a response to something being said about me, and I feel it’s important to set the record straight. Also, I want my son to understand it’s okay to pursue the woman he loves. Romance is a lovely thing when it’s with the right person.

There’s not a moment that passes without me thinking about my son. His name Story. It’s been 31 months since I last heard his voice, and I’m not even sure if he’s alive. You see, his mother, Aubrey Noelle Lewis from West Virginia, along with Kerri Brown and Makennah Gray, has orchestrated this generational trauma. What a shame. Kerri manipulated Aubrey into having the baby in West Virginia. Where Aubrey supposedly hates. That was a lie because she’s acting just like her ancestors! This is NOT the person I met in California. Some parent she is weaponizing a child. I see no difference in what she’s doing compared to Jeffrey Epstein. Abuse is abuse, regardless of the form. by @dwadestory

The holidays are always the toughest. It’s hard to believe that two and a half years have passed since I last saw my son, my baby boy. For the record, I was the one who suggested starting a family when I met his mother in California. I thought I had found the one. 🤦🏾‍♂️ His mother had nothing and nowhere to live after her chaotic roommate situation. so I allowed her to move in with me after just two weeks of knowing her. The agreement was that she would stay for only a month, but she made herself comfortable and ended up staying for a year. That was a mistake. I allowed someone so ungrateful to disrupt my peaceful home and ruin my plans for a future family. Let my mistake serve as a warning to those who open up to women without knowing they have ulterior motives. We will be reunited one day. Pray for us please 🙏🏾 by @dwadestory

Personally, I didn’t choose this path; they did. I did what I was supposed to do by dropping everything in California to move to the East Coast for nothing. I got a house for my family, offered support, and forgave them, yet they continued to reveal their true colors—their deep-seated prejudice against Black people. I hate this for my son, but he will see. The world will show him too. As a parent, I would never prevent my child from seeing his mother unless she posed a real danger to his health, which is not the case here. This is about control and vindictiveness from a bitter woman who feels she can hide behind her mother and Jara Howard in West Virginia. 2.5 years unlawfully blocked. by @dwadestory

It’s been almost three years since I’ve seen my baby boy. 💔
That’s a hard thing to write — harder to live with.

He was my plan. My reason.
I spent years preparing to build a life where my family would be taken care of. But that chance was taken away.

What hurts most is knowing I did everything right — yet somehow, the system and his mother’s side of the family decided my son shouldn’t know his father.

Still, I’m here. Building a space where, one day, he can find me — unfiltered, unhidden, and surrounded by truth.

Just truth.
Because one day, he’ll have questions… and I want him to have real answers.

This is how I met your mother. by @dwadestory

🔥 It’s Time to Expose the Judges Who Are Failing Our Children 🔥

No child should have to suffer because a judge didn’t do their job.

Judge Jara Lee Howard has ignored the law, blocked a father’s rights, and turned a blind eye to real evidence. This isn’t just my case — it’s a pattern happening across family courts nationwide.

🚨 This has to stop.

We must hold family court judges accountable for their actions — or their inaction. When judges protect power over people, children suffer. Families break. Rights are destroyed.

📣 If you’ve been silenced, delayed, or denied justice in family court — speak out. Tag the judge. Share your story. Expose the corruption.

➡️ Use the hashtag #ExposeFamilyCourt
➡️ Call for investigation into #JudgeJaraHoward
➡️ Demand judicial reform with #FixFamilyCourt

Enough is enough. My son deserves his father. Your child deserves justice. Our voices are louder together.

I want to sincerely thank everyone for the birthday love—your messages, calls, and kind words meant more than you know. What a year it’s been.

If I’ve seemed a little distracted lately, you’re not wrong. There’s been a lot on my heart and mind. Still, I didn’t want to let the moment pass without showing appreciation. Words will never fully capture how grateful I am, but I hope this comes close.

This year, I did something different—I spent my birthday talking to my son on camera. And honestly, that moment grounded me in the kind of love and purpose that matters most.

Thank you again, from the heart. by @dwadestory

It’s a pain I can’t explain,
an emptiness I can’t outrun.
A hollow space inside my heart,
that only belongs to my son.

It’s a darkness without a dawn,
a silence that lingers too long.
No light, no warmth, no way to feel whole,
just echoes of love that still call him home.

Without my son, I’m not the same,
just a shadow of who I used to be.
Incomplete, waiting, lost in the days,
until he’s back here with me. by @dwadestory

How’d you spend your Thanksgiving?

This year, I’m deeply grateful for the family and friends who genuinely support and encourage the bond between me and my son. Words alone can’t capture my gratitude, so I’m committed to showing it through my actions.

In today’s world, young boys especially need their fathers to help them navigate the challenges of identity and purpose. No matter how things turn out between parents, the focus should always be ‘us vs. the world’ when it comes to raising a child.

I’ve always stood for healthy co-parenting, and while not everyone may agree, my priority remains what’s best for my child. - Dad by @dwadestory

It’s been 15 months since my son and I have been kept apart, with our access to each other blocked. The pain of missing his special moments is indescribable, but I hold onto hope that we’ll find a way to make up for this lost time. Until then, I’ll keep fighting for him, knowing that one day we’ll be together again. (July 2023 - October 2024) #dadlovesyou by @dwadestory

From the bottom of my heart, thank you to everyone who’s stood by me on this journey. 🙏🏾 Words can’t capture the depth of my gratitude for your support. For two long years, I’ve been fighting to be in my son’s life—something every parent and child deserves. I continue to hold onto hope and pray that our father-son bond will be restored sooner rather than later. Your encouragement means the world to me, and I won’t stop until we’re reunited. - Story’s Dad by @dwadestory
