Father and SonWelcome to my world, My name is Farod Thomas! I’m a God Fearing Husband of my beautiful better half, a Father to two amazingly talented young children, and more than anything I’m like most of you here, A MAN! I created this blog for the purposes of educated my African-American men and probably some other nationalities too about the everyday things we as men deal with.  It’s my hopes that you all dig and divulge into this blog as much as I will be!  It’s also my hopes to educate us on matters that tend to go unspoken of and overlooked in our society.  While this site is for the sole purpose of uplifting my brothers, I invite ALL WOMEN, my sisters, to partake on spreading positive knowledge, insight and uplifting viewpoints.  Well nothing more to go on here! Let’s make it happen!
