Summary

Since learning of the passing of sports legend Kobe Bryant, and his daughter Gianna Bryant. The conversations surrounding his legacy have filled us with warmth as we remember the father he was. This week we wanted to center Black #girldads and it only made sense to invite Essence Ventures Founder and Chair, and #GirlDad of FOUR - Richelieu Dennis. Our prayers are with the fathers of all the families affected by the tragedy and we hope that this episode helps to lift up the beauty of Black fatherhood. Use #YesGirlPodcast to share your #girldad experiences and hug your loved ones a little tighter today.
