These podcast interviews are giving me life. If you're like me, it's hard to find inspiration these days during the pandemic and other discouraging things happening around the world. I find hope in hearing stories from people who have endured difficult times and emerged stronger on the other side. Today it's about Ken Harge, a Black man in Connecticut, the final story in my "Three Men of Color, Redefining Fatherhood" series. Next week I start a new series, "Four Badass Black Women." You can find the Finding Fertile Ground podcast wherever you listen to podcasts or online in the article below.
