SONGS FOR OUR FATHERS: A Series of Panel Discussions to Celebrate Fatherhood 

Event 1: In Praise of Single Fathers
Thursday, May 30 | 6:00 p.m. 
Highland Park Library 
1974 Ford Parkway, Saint Paul

Join Nick Metcalf, Bao Phi, Davu Seru and Clarence White as they explore what it means to be in a masculine-perceived body and to raise children without the other birth parent present. What structural, physical, and emotional challenges do we face raising kids as “solo” fathers? Where have we found resilience and capacity to dream into our visions for caregiving, rather than collapsing into conventional norms?
Moderator: Ben Weaver
