About this listen
In this episode, I talk with Michael (@mdjeffersonii) —one of many siblings, a proud Black father, and someone who always knew parenthood was part of his path.
We unpack:
• What it means to grow up in a big family and build your own
• How race, culture, and identity shape the parenting journey
• Why representation and community matter in adoption
Michael brings heart, history, and humor as he shares how the Black experience has shaped his approach to fatherhood, love, and legacy. His story is one of intention, deep roots, and dreaming forward.
