Glen Henry, known as Beleaf to the supporters of his YouTube channel “Beleaf In Fatherhood,” shares the joys and tribulations of parenthood alongside his wife Yvette, primarily through vlogging from their San Diego home.
Importantly, the channel challenges pervasive negative stereotypes about Black fatherhood by providing an example of a present and intentional Black dad.
Apple TV’s new documentary film “Dads,” a cinematic celebration of fatherhood, was released just in time for Father’s Day.
Beleaf, one of the extraordinary fathers featured in the film, spoke with Atlanta Black Star about his experiences working on the project.
After an initial conversation with director Bryce Howard about how society often sells dads short, Beleaf recognized how much the world needed to a see a film that challenged the most common assumptions about fatherhood.
