#GIRLDAD

Description #GIRLDAD: The Grown Up Being Raised by Children is a fatherhood memoir about inheritance, responsibility, family, faith, mistakes, growth, and what happens when a man realizes his children are raising him too. Jeremiah Rosborough writes from the perspective of a Black father trying to remain present while navigating family history, relationships, family court, community expectations, faith, identity, and the pressure to become a better man than the examples he inherited. The story moves from childhood and the lessons passed down by family, through the confusion and responsibility of becoming a father, into the brotherhood and accountability Jeremiah found through Project Fatherhood. Along the way, he examines the stories men inherit about strength, masculinity, race, religion, relationships, and what it means to provide for a family. At the center of the book are his daughters. They become mirrors, teachers, motivation, and reminders that fatherhood is more than protection or providing. It is listening, learning their language, staying present, correcting yourself, and preparing them for lives that eventually belong to them. #GIRLDAD is not a manual for perfect fathers. It is the record of a man learning in public, questioning what he was taught, fighting to stay connected to his children, and discovering that raising daughters also meant raising himself. A father’s journey. A daughter’s legacy.
