No fluff. No CAP. Just real conversation and real support.

Yesterday our Founder & CEO was honored to have a voice at the 2nd Annual Black Maternal Health Summit alongside a few of our amazing partners.

We were honored to join our partners at Wright’s Way Foundation for their Maternal Mental Health Summit and to speak on their panel.

One speaker stopped by our table and shared how powerful it was to see resources specifically for dads in the room.

Too often fathers are overlooked in these spaces, but at Dads2B and Urban Family Development Center, we’re making sure dads are part of the conversation, because when dads are involved from Day One, families win.

Confidence matters.

Sometimes support looks like encouragement.
Sometimes it looks like community.
And sometimes it looks like the right outfit for the right opportunity.

Through our Dads2B program, fathers are gaining more than resources — they’re gaining confidence, preparation and the support they deserve as they step into new seasons of life.

We’re proud of every dad who chooses to show up, put in the effort and take the next step forward.

If you’re expecting a baby or know a father who could benefit from support, reach out. You don’t have to navigate this journey alone.
