On Fathers' Day in 2018, Marvyn Harrison decided to create a WhatsApp group with all the Black fathers he knew (at the time, twenty-three people) to wish them a happy Fathers' Day. What was a small group chat soon grew to become a community; a hub for knowledge-sharing and support, with the network discussing co-parenting, cohabiting, marriage, fatherhood, blended families and much more.

Dope Black Dads is now an internationally recognised community with men across the UK, US, South Africa and beyond sharing the personal stories, journeys, life lessons and learnings derived from their experiences of being Black fathers.

In Dope Black Dads, Marvyn Harrison discusses his own journey into fatherhood, his relationship with his own father, and the narrative around Black fatherhood. Featuring anecdotes and stories, as well as tips and fatherhood hacks from members across the world, this book is both an honest companion and a vital guide.
