The Black Dad Experience (BDE)
Fatherhood. Unfiltered. From the front lines to the front porch.
Welcome to The Black Dad Experience—the podcast that fearlessly explores fatherhood from the Black male perspective. Hosted by Anthony, a proud father of three, military vet, and unapologetic leader in the dad space, BDE is more than talk—it's a movement.
Each episode dives into the complex, diverse, and very real life of raising kids in today’s world. From blending families and battling stereotypes, to navigating deadbeat dynamics and breaking generational cycles—we're holding nothing back. Expect hard conversations, bold truths, and plenty of “Yo, I never thought about it like that” moments.
Whether you’re a new dad, seasoned dad, expectant father, granddad, bonus dad, or just someone who loves a dope dialogue—you’ll walk away challenged, seen, and inspired.
We lead loud.
We live proud.
This is The Standard.
This is The Black Dad Experience.
