3rd Annual Black Fathers Rock Celebration - February 23, 2020
Year 3!

The time has come again for Black Fathers Rock! (BFR) to celebrate America’s unsung hero – THE BLACK PATRIARCH. Media personality, author and Charlotte Champion Ryan Jor El, is the creator of Black Fathers Rock! Ryan aims to help change the narrative and dispel the notion that all black fathers are absent.

BFR! will highlight stories of amazing fathers, who exist in the Charlotte community, as well as provide resources for fathers who are in need of guidance. This year, we’re elevating the experience with a live band, full bar and buffet!

The 60 minute awards ceremony will feature the presentation of six honorees and feature an original spoken word performance.

Black Fathers Exist.

Black Fathers deserve to be celebrated.

Black Fathers’ stories need to be told.
