"Sometimes you have to fight for the right to be a father."
That truth hits hard in this raw and reflective episode of 15 Minutes with Dad, where Lirec Williams is joined by a circle of devoted brothers who are unapologetic about their daughters and relentless about being present—no matter the obstacles.

In a powerful group conversation, these entrepreneurial fathers open up about what it means to be a present Black father in a world that often works against you. From navigating the family court system to healing the wounds of their own childhoods, they share real stories of resilience, growth, and emotional presence.

🎯 In this episode, you’ll hear:

  • The emotional and legal battles fathers face to stay connected to their children
  • How each man's fatherhood challenges have shaped their parenting style
  • Reflections on how childhood trauma impacts the way we show up for our daughters
  • The balancing act of building a business while raising children with intention
  • What unapologetic fatherhood looks like—and why it matters for the next generation

💡 This isn’t just about parenting—it’s about navigating fatherhood with grit, grace, and brotherhood. Whether you're in the trenches of co-parenting, working toward generational impact, or leading a family and a business at the same time, this episode will resonate deeply.
