Tonight was just 😭😭

Mr. Rogers once said, “We are all precious in our uniqueness and meant to help each other shine.”

And that is exactly what tonight was. Truly, I have no words to express the gratitude I have for my family, my church family and God’s blessing of this beautiful community of Thomasville 🩵🤍🩷

Tonight was nothing short of amazing to watch people from all places & walks of life gathering around my dream to help it shine and I couldn’t do it without each one of you.

A VERY special thank you to our amazing sponsors!!
@workwithadele @imaginationemporium @brigitsmallridgestatefarm @seagateprinting @jonahsfish

And congrats to @kstowersdaily for winning dinner for two at Jonah’s!! 🐟

Of course thank you to all who have given advice, supported me and helped to see this dream come true. This is only the beginning, but I’d say it’s a pretty good start ☀️🌊🤍

Proof Of Life&At Peace!!!!!!!! + The People Who Had Access To You Have Nooooo Idea How Unreachable You Are To “Everyone Else!!!!!!”, Until They Become “Everyone Else!!” Worrying Doesn’t Take Away Tomorrow’s Problems!!!! But It Does Take Away Today’s Peace & Never Let Unaccomplished People Judge Your Accomplishments!!!!!! & Apparently Staying To Yourself And Not Bothering People, Bothers People And One Of Your Biggest Test In Life!!!!!! Is How You Handle People Who’ve Miss Handled You! And On That Note Please!!!! Doooon’t Call My Phone When I’am Up,I Had The Same Number When I Was DownAndMy Phone Didn’t Make A Sound!!!!!!, So If Y’all Wasn’t Around Then, Why Would I Let Y’all Back Around, How Does That Even Sound????? P.s:MyProblem Was I Wanted To TakePeople With Me To “The Top” Who Didn’t Even Wanna See Me At “The Top” And Some People Are Allergic To Supporting You!!!! But Addicted To Watching You!NowWatchThis.-Demarcus S.

Despite the stereotype, Black fathers are among the most involved dads in America.

The presence of a father matters more than many people realize.

Despite the narrative, research shows that 58% of Black fathers live with their children, and even among those who live apart, nearly 60% see their children at least once a week.

In fact, studies from the CDC have shown that Black fathers are among the most actively involved fathers in daily activities with their children compared to other groups.

And the impact is real. Children with involved fathers are 43% more likely to earn A’s in school and 33% less likely to repeat a grade.

Fatherhood isn’t defined by stereotypes, circumstances, or even custody arrangements.
It’s defined by presence, consistency, and love.

To every father showing up — through the long days, the court battles, the busy schedules, or the distance — your presence matters more than you know.

Let’s continue to challenge the narrative and show the world what fatherhood really looks like.

I was at a red light dropping my sons off when I saw something that blessed me deeply.

A Black father.
Playing catch with his son.

He didn’t know anyone was watching.
He wasn’t performing.
He was just present.

In a world that pushes negative stereotypes about Black men, I witnessed greatness at a stoplight.

To that brother — thank you.
You’re shaping a king.

If anyone knows this father and son, please DM me. I would love to honor and celebrate him at our church. Fathers like this deserve to be seen.

Your kids didn’t ask to be born. The entitlement of parents these days are out of line.

The things that you do for your children are spared to be done out of the kindness of your heart. Your kids do not owe you anything. Shirt by @firstlookofficial_ 😎
