#HappyFatherDay to my #1 Dad, & to all the Dads out there! TY for the love & hugs, the mentorship, prayers, teaching & coaching. TY for being a leader in community, nurturing, challenging & inspiring. May you experience JOY like this today & everyday! I promise to preserve it. 
This moment is the manifestation of so many dreams made possible because of your hard work & love for your family.
Big C & Little C. Straight outta COVID-19 Wakanda.
Fatherhood, your favorite role. Cora's Dad, your proudest title.
I am lowkey jealous that you still do Cora's hair better than anyone else. Look at this bun, no bumps!
Cora is strong, smart, kind, loyal & beautiful. She is fearless & loving, and she has that Harris nose!
She's growing up, time is moving so fast, but no matter how old she gets, or where life takes her, she'll always know the safety of you, and you of her. Best #girldad ever.

As the sun sets on a day filled with love, family and gratitude, I want to speak about the man I called Martin for decades but now lovingly call, Dad. He was absent for my childhood and young adult years due to substance use and the criminal legal system.
By the age of 10 years old, I stopped reading the letters he sent me from Corrections. I missed him, resented him, and experienced a world of hurt without him, for which I blamed him, for decades.
Since his release, we've both worked to earn one other's trust. He has attained two advanced degrees, become a Professor of Journalism, and a published author.
6 yrs ago, my Dad walked me down the aisle at my wedding. To all those children with #incarcerated parents and caregivers, know that they miss you terribly, think of you everyday, never stopped loving you, and know that growth, redemption and forgiveness are possible.
