In episode 52, we connect with David Miller to explore his work on the relationship between black fathers and daughters. Some of the key talking points in this conversation include the marginalization of black fathers, creating opportunities and space for bonding through various activities for fathers to get to know their daughters likes and dislikes, the impact of absent fathers on girls and women, having courageous and age appropriate conversations around topics like sex, education, dating and media literacy and managing emotions and dealing with conflict.
Baltimore native David C. Miller uses his academic training and innate street skills to lead healing circles with men and boys, focusing on decision-making, impulse control, mental health awareness, and managing anger. Miller's work with Black men and boys has appeared in the BBC Magazine (Canada) and on CNN, MSNBC, Huffington Post, USA Today, PBS, Baltimore Sun, Washington Post, Washington Parent Magazine, Afro-American Newspaper, and other media outlets.
Miller is also the author and architect of Dare To Be King: What If the Prince Lives? a unique curriculum designed to engage young males of color around three domains: anger, decision-making, and impulse control.
Miller completed his Ph.D. in the School of Social Work at Morgan State University. Miller’s dissertation research focused on the emotional connections between Black fathers and daughters.
