A relatable and game-changing guide for parents that redefines what it means to be a present-day father.

Father-of-three, motivational speaker and influencer Bode Aboderin (AKA Papa B) is on a mission to show the world that Black fatherhood is not only compatible with ambition, but can inspire, nourish and amplify it too.

Papa B is using his natural flair for motivational speech to share the joyful and transformative journey of starting a family, including the challenges involved and the opportunities to grow along the way. In this passionate parenting book for dads, Bode reflects on how his own upbringing, alongside stigmas about fatherhood, race, and masculinity, have impacted his experiences of being a father, whilst talking candidly about how to overcome the challenges commonly experienced by parents - from breaking generational cycles and adapting to modern-day family dynamics to communicating with your child and achieving a healthy work-life balance. Fatherhood by Papa B teaches all fathers everywhere to be empowered.

Fatherhood by Papa B addresses fatherhood in such a way that is hard-working, practical and incredibly down-to-earth. A must-have volume for all parents, father figures and fathers-to-be, Fatherhood by Papa B is set out to exemplify what many studies have revealed: that involved fatherhood can also improve a man's cognitive skills, health and capacity for empathy, whilst building confidence, self-esteem and enhancing emotional regulation and expression.
