Actor, Andre Royo, wants his daughter to be a good person.
Stories of absent fathers have become commonplace in the narrative of the Black community. While there’s a tendency to avoid consistent conversations about the real reasons why so many men are absent from their children’s lives, even more damaging are the limited opportunities to provide examples of fathers who foster high quality relationships with their children and families in ways that positively impact our community.
We caught up with Actor, Andre Royo -best known for his portrayal of the character, “Bubbles” on The Wire – and his teenage daughter during a sunny day in Los Angeles, California. His daughter describes him as “a role model” who is “a friend and your family”. Andre compares being a good father to listening, as in acting. All-and-all, Royo explains, “at the end of the day in my heart, I want my daughter to be a good person!”

Have we failed to consider how their examples can inform and inspire those fathers, children, and families who are lost? Or does it even matter?

“No amount of money can replace the value that both parents, or in this case, a prepared father or male figure can bring to a child’s life,” Brown told theGrio in an email. “The confluence of single female parents and absent fathers has resulted in far too many young people growing up having no relationship whatsoever with their dads. Many of our children are finding very few examples of what authentic fatherhood, manhood and family structure look like. I believe the absence of these examples has also impacted the rate at which successful nuclear families are being created.” – Kobie Brown
