From Juvenile Justice to Fatherhood Champion: Keith Holmes on Breaking Cycles and Building Futures

In this heartfelt and eye-opening episode of I Am Dad Podcast, host Kenneth Braswell sits down with Keith Holmes, fatherhood outreach specialist and advocate at Fathers Incorporated. Keith opens up about being raised by a stepfather who modeled manhood through action, and how his own biological father's struggles with addiction gave him a deeper understanding of trauma and redemption. Through candid dialogue, Keith shares the transformative experiences that led him from working in juvenile justice to becoming a vital part of Atlanta’s fatherhood movement. From counseling dads in crisis to mentoring youth in underserved communities, Keith’s insights speak to the importance of empathy, cultural understanding, and showing up—even when it's hard. The conversation also touches on sports culture, Black fatherhood in Atlanta, systemic barriers, and the future of generational impact through father-focused programs. It’s more than a conversation—it’s a reflection on what it truly means to prepare our boys for the world and ourselves for the journey of fatherhood.
