With over 21 years of community development experience, Braswell serves as the Executive Director of Fathers incorporated (FI). At Fathers Incorporated, he focuses on the need to reaffirm the benefit of fathers within the family service paradigm. Since 2004 the agencies’ main focus has been on the development of support and services for fathers. FI, a not-for-profit organization, serves as a leader in the promotion of Responsible Fatherhood and Mentoring. This international focus raises the awareness about, and combats the impact of father absence. Fathers Incorporated does this through the use of innovative social marketing and multi-media platforms, traditional communications, and product development. Braswell’s work seeks to expand the range of work in the fields of comprehensive and non-traditional family service models. For the past several years, Braswell has worked to change the current societal and cultural definition of family to include fathers.
