So many of us have had a fallout with someone once held dear, or know someone in this scenario. In Part II of the Why Fathers Cry: One Year Later special, Kwame Alexander opens up about his own experience on this front in the most important conversation he’s had throughout the series – and in his life – with his eldest daughter, Nandi.
As Kwame wrote about in his memoir, Why Fathers Cry at Night, the two had been estranged for the past several years – an estrangement still in play at the time the book was released last May. Learn what brought them back together, why Nandi suggested she join Kwame on the show, and what she hopes others will glean from their discussion.
In this deeply personal, honest, and inspiring father-and-daughter dialogue, Kwame and Nandi open their hearts and examine what each has discovered about themselves and each other – plus reveal some incredible, life-changing news.
Why Fathers Cry: One Year Later is a Big Sea Entertainment production, hosted by Kwame Alexander. Produced by Sarah Grace McCandless. Post-production by Jeremy Brieske at Burst Marketing

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
