Dare to Be Extraordinary Panel Discussion
1/23/2014, 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM
Dare to Be Extraordinary offers a platform that positively promotes the role and importance of men, particularly African American men, as fathers in our society through the following ways:
• Recognize and uplift men who are engaged and loving in their role as fathers.
• Educate and reinforce for men the important role and positive impact they can have as fathers.
• Inspire men to take a leadership role in raising their sons and daughters to live out extraordinary lives.
• Offer compelling testimony that men have the capacity and demonstrated history to raise and influence their sons and daughters to become extraordinarily positive people within their community and beyond.
• Begin a new positive conversation about men and their role and influence in raising their sons and daughters.
“Our aim is to inspire men to take a leadership role in raising their children to live extraordinary lives.”

William K. Middlebrooks, Co-Author & Hon. Denise Page Hood, Federal District Court Judge.
