Glen Henry loves everything about being a Black dad – and he’s eager to show others why. On his YouTube channel, Beleaf in Fatherhood, he turns the stuff of everyday life in the Henry household – with his wife, Yvette, and their four kids – into artful, loving, and insightful videos about Black fatherhood and Black family life. He doesn’t shy away from the difficult stuff, either – like the recent talk he and his wife had with their two oldest kids about race. Here, Glen talks about why he does what he does, his own loss of innocence, and what he hopes for the future of America. Glen’s seven-year-old son, Theo, joins the conversation, too, and tells us what he loves about being Black.
