Fatherless Black Girls and Daddy Issues

 


 


Not all fatherless black girls come from broken homes and not all
fatherless black girls have daddy issues so let’s stop with the
stereotypes.


When we hear those words, we automatically go to the place of
single parent homes, but being fatherless comes in many forms.


You can be deemed “fatherless” even when your father is in
the home

Lacking a father’s protection and support

Not knowing the identity of one’s father

Not having a father living



Shirl and Natty  have two very different experiences, but
they both grew up without their fathers—Natty’s dad passed when
she was eleven— and Shirl’s dad left when she was around the same
age and although their experiences weren’t the same, they both
experienced emotional trauma as a result of being fatherless
black girls. Tune in to this week’s episode to find out they
navigated the pain from those experiences  and how they’re
dismantling the labels and stereotypes regarding the preconceived
notions about what a fatherless black girl looks like.
