Fatherhood: Rising to the Ultimate Challenge

In Fatherhood, beloved NBA player, poet, childrenâ€™s advocate, and devoted dad Etan Thomas speaks from his heart on what matters most in his life: being there for his children. As a leading participant in President Obamaâ€™s Fatherhood Initiative, Etan has reached out to young men (often young fathers) in the juvenile detention system and in local communities. He knows firsthand the difference having a father in your life every day can make.

Now he brings together a chorus of voices to weigh in on the importance of being a father in our nation today and to share what theyâ€™ve learned from being a father, having a father, or in some cases not having a father around.
