In this fifth and final episode of Fathers Together, we meet Tamym, who reflects on his life journey from childhood in Mauritius and England to imprisonment and the difficult work of rebuilding afterwards. He shares how struggles with cultural identity, a strained relationship with his father, and the pull of criminal associations led him into destructive choices.

Prison was both transformative and deeply painful, marked also by the loss of his mother and fractured family ties. Tamym’s partner offers her perspective on raising their children and holding the marriage together through the separation. Together, they speak candidly about grief, resilience, and how a parenting programme helped them to rebuild their family life.

Tamym’s story is one of endurance and return — finding strength in love, in fatherhood, and in the hope of creating something better for his family.

Joining host Roifield Brown are Dr Anita Mehay, who leads the Fathers Together study, and Leandra Box, Deputy CEO of the Race Equality Foundation. They discuss the disproportionate impact of imprisonment on Black, Asian and racially minoritised families, and what this means for children and women left behind.
