Exclusive Interview: In August 2020, Jacob Blake, a 29-year-old Black man, was shot seven times in the back by a white officer outside an apartment complex in Kenosha, Wisconsin. The shooting, which happened in front of Jacob's children, prompted national outrage with riots and protests breaking out across the country. But despite his new identity as a contemporary civil rights icon, the first word Jacob uses to describe himself is “father.” Today we’re speaking with Jacob Blake about Black Fatherhood, and how that fateful summer night shaped his role as father, then and now.
After the episode, for more information on Jacob and the work he's doing to "plug power to purpose", go to www.edifye.org.
