The language we use matters, especially in the fatherhood field and other service areas. Using terms like fatherless, baby mama, or baby daddy can be dismissive and hurtful. Let’s uplift and honor the roles parents play by saying father of the child and mother of the child. 🌱✨ Words shape how we see each other. Let’s use them to build respect and connection. #ccff #languagematters #bettertogether (fb)

This past weekend, CCFF had the privilege of attending The Impact of Incarceration on the Family: COMMUNITY BLOCK FAIR hosted by Historic St. Paul AME Church, under the leadership of Rev. Dr. Stephanie M. Raglin. The event was a powerful blend of purpose and positivity, bringing together the community for a day filled with vital information, helpful resources, family fun, and great food. It was inspiring to see how faith, awareness, and action came together to uplift and support families impacted by incarceration. . . #ccff (fb)
