“We want to impress that the two; fatherhood and brotherhood, are equally reliant on each other. As an agency we are honored to be in a position to serve 900 young fathers in Metro Atlanta over the next 5 years. Most of these fathers will be African American between the ages of 18-40.”

Conversation around the relevance of both Fatherhood and Brotherhood
The campaign, “Fatherhood Is Brotherhood” helps to elevate the conversation around the relevance of both Fatherhood and Brotherhood and includes mentorship by well-known brand ambassadors such as rap artist T-Mo (Goodie Mob), GRIFF co-host of Get Up! Mornings with Erica Campbell, NBA sports analyst and media personality Chris Broussard, former Falcons, NFL Running Back, Warrick Dunn as well as Sheriff Patrick Labat of the Fulton County Sheriff Department.
The official launch is set for February 12th that will welcome a freshman cohort of fathers into a “brotherhood” of support, networking and elevation.
