Greetings Grio Fam,
Father’s Day may have just passed, but we still have some of our favorite Black father figures on our minds—7 to be exact. In addition to that, if there are any fathers out there on their fatherhood journey concerned with whether or not they are doing a good job, we have “A Father’s Day letter to every dad trying his best.”

We realize Father’s Day can be complicated for some. The singer-songwriter India.Arie and her mother bravely open up about why the topic is complicated in their family, drawing a lot of support and concern from her fans in recent days.
With summer just days away, there may be many looking to get away from the hustle and bustle. The latest installment of the Grio Green Book highlights Ma Daisy’s restaurant opening on Juneteenth in Bluffton, South Carolina. The restaurant is already garnering headlines for endeavoring to preserve Gullah Geechee culture.
Check out all of those stories and more at theGrio.com. Read and share. Your support is vital to the continued telling of Black stories you love. We amplify our voices because that is the highest form of Black love — sharing is caring.
In solidarity,
Kay Wicker
