I attended the fatherhood Conference in Raleigh for the first time and I was amazed by all the amazing men I made connections with. I felt at home sitting among greatness. The expert panels, workshops,vendors and Retired Supreme Court Judge Michael Morgan Speaking. I left filling equipped,empowered,strengthened and ready to take my fatherhood role and responsibilities to the next level. If you have never attended this fatherhood conference I encourage every father to attend this annual event. I thank Dr. Jason Mahoney for inviting me to this powerful life changing fatherhood Conference.
