The Fatherhood Block Party Was an Ode to Black Dads

Made in Partnership with

Black Love’s Fatherhood Block Party was a celebration that embodied the essence of community. Our Black Love founder and father of three boys, Tommy Oliver, ensured that the day was filled with love for Black fathers because we know how important their presence is, and how much they deserve gratitude. Black love is fatherhood and because we know how important visibility is to impacting the narrative, we created safe spaces for sweet moments between fathers and their kids!

In addition to day of family fun, guests mixed and mingled while decorating sneakers and took pictures against the event’s branded step and repeat. To help enhance emotional connections between family, friends and the community, we shared Hallmark Mahogany encouragement cards to express and encourage loved and vulnerability.
