Exploring the Many Faces of Black Families Today

Many of our priorities center around family. That’s why FunTimes Magazine thought a free virtual event, Exploring the Many Faces of Black Families Today, during National Black Family Month (observed in July) would be particularly interesting. And so timely. This engaging and educational July 25th session focuses on family values, traditions, parenting styles, work-family balance, family dynamics, and traditional and unconventional families facing the challenges an complexities in today’s society. The event will be led by a distinguished panel of educators and experts: Dr. Ellyn Jo Waller, Annette Deigh and Joel Austin Dr. Ellyn Jo Waller, an educator, parent, and President of Community College of Philadelphia Foundation. Annette Deigh is a therapist and clinical supervisor at Boundary Span LLC and a member of the Alliance of Black Social Workers. She is an educator and training consultant. Austin is the founder-president and CEO of Daddy University Inc., the oldest male-parenting company in the United States. His group is an advocate and provides fathers with resources and training. Join multi-media host Lavonne Nichols for this engaging family affair. The panel will shed light on the state of family living.
