Fatherhood 4.0: iDad Applications Across Cultures

We have Dalton Higgins back!!

Dalton is considered one of Canada’s foremost experts on popular culture. He has recently written his fourth book, “Fatherhood 4.0: iDad Applications Across Cultures”.

In “Fatherhood 4.0: iDad Applications Across Cultures”, some of Canada’s most acclaimed multicultural personalities, public figures, intellectuals, entertainers, athletes, and activists share stories, memories, insights, and revelations about fatherhood, from comic to tragic.

As an African-Canadian fatherhood advocate, Dalton also digs around to see how Black fathers of this millennium are faring, as academics and pundits have debated for decades what is at the heart of the problem when it comes to the much-publicized shortcomings of Black fathers.

The book spots trends across a newer generation of media-savvy multicultural dads influenced by everything from George Lopez and Bill Cosby to the Osbournes and Obama, with keen insights and essays from fatherhood activists. It includes essays on the “baby daddy” phenomenon and Bob Marley, pops in popular culture, technology and parenting, and crucial research on aboriginal fatherhood by Dr. Jessica Ball.

Some of the people interviewed are: Michael “Pinball” Clemons, Broken Social Scene’s Charles Spearin, Toronto FC’s Dwayne De Rosario, Bollywood Boulevard’s Mohit Rajhans, George Elliot Clarke, Hal Niedzvicki, Lawrence Hill, dramatist Richard Lee, CBC Radio’s Matt Galloway, social entrepreneur Sol Guy and more!!

Dalton has written three other books. He also co-directed and produced “More Than A Haircut”, the critically acclaimed documentary about Black fathers and barbershop culture.

Recently, we had the opportunity to speak with Dalton about “Fatherhood 4.0: iDad Applications” at Harlem Restaurant in Toronto. Enjoy!!

The Dr.Vibe Show: Live Tonight At 9 P.M. EST – Orrin "Checkmate" Hudson,Speaker & Master Strategist & Motivator

0

Be Someone was founded by Orrin “Checkmate” Hudson, a former Alabama State Trooper and author of “One Move at a Time,” to help at-risk youth make better life decisions using a very unusual tool: a chessboard. In 2001, Hudson learned of an incident in which seven New York Wendy’s employees were shot, five of whom died – for a mere $2,400. This tragic incident inspired Hudson to quit his job and use his life savings to start Be Someone.

Now, Hudson travels throughout North America mentoring children to value KASH – Knowledge, Attitude, Skills and Habits – over cash. Since its founding in 2001, Be Someone has touched the lives of over 20,000 students across the country and has had amazing success with increasing grade point averages, classroom participation and attendance through the mantras, “Brains Before Bullets; Think It Out, Don’t Shoot It Out; Heads up, Pants up, Grades up and Never Give up!” By 2017, Be Someone hopes to have made a difference in close to one million students’ lives.

Orrin will be live on our show tonight at 9 p.m. EST.

Gary Pieters

Gary Pieters is an educator for the Toronto District School Board. He feels that 2011 was a challenging year for African Canadians due to some of these reasons: the effect of the economy on African Canadian especially African Canadian males, lack of African Canadian representation in politics, the education system not helping narrow the achievement gap of African Canadians, a leadership gap and health issues.

During our conversation, we discuss these issues, solutions and barriers to achieving these solutions. Gary also comments on what can the African Canadian community do to help African Canadian Black men and what African Canadian men need to do.
