As part of 2017's The Father Project (TFP), ByBlacks.com highlights the profiles of Black- Canadian men and their various experiences of navigating fatherhood. Read Kofi's responses below.

Name:  Kofi Morris 

Age: 36

Occupation:  Social Worker 
 
How many children do you have?

Four

How old were you when you first became a father? 

21

How would you rank your relationship with your father?

3 out of 5

 

Briefly describe the relationship with your father.

Currently non-existent by my personal choice. (Changed approximately 3 years ago). Prior to that, we were quite good, in terms of our social relationship, time spent together and overall interactions when time shared.

 

How has this shaped the relationship with your children?

I would say quite significantly, even though have chosen to father my children in my own fashion, for the most part. With slight nuances here and there. What I mean is, I have realized over the years, that one cannot quite "break" or stray too far from one's root. Simply because the experiences we have with our parents form, alter and shape our outlook of life, our parenting styles, for good or bad and they did mine.

 

What do you enjoy the most about being a dad?

Giving. The act of giving and sharing experiences with my children that will shape their characters, enrich their lives, and co-create the type of young people and eventual adults that will positively shape this world. Contributing my own personality, lived experiences, knowledge, wisdom, practical applications to life and "brought-upsies" that I see will help their walk in life.
