Men Matter. Happy Father’s Day.

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there making it happen because you matter. On this day, celebrate you, your accomplishments and future accomplishments. Being a man isn’t easy. You’re the backbone of your family and society. Everything you do, you’ll be measured by. You blame no one but yourself, and you hold yourself to the highest standards of accountability. Many times, much of what you do will remain thankless. But as a man, you’ll keep going without the need for accolades because they come from others. You know the only meaningful accolades come from within. The mold was broken before and after you. Enjoy this day and every day after it.

Happy Father’s Day from Jermaine Reed, MFA.
