The Strategy: Take a
holistic approach by funding five sites, each of which must provide
employment-related services, educational assistance, help with child
support, parenting classes and anything else “that would help a
noncustodial parent become involved in the lives of their children,”
says Kenneth Braswell, director of the state’s Fatherhood Initiative,
which is housed in the Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance.

Through Black Eyes Radio {A KPRN Production}
July 24, 2008
http://www.blogtalkradio.com/ThroughBlackEyes
Today 75% of young black children are born into single parent homes.
That single parent happens to be mostly mothers. We want to examine
how black men are living up to their duties as fathers. Even if they
are not in the home, there is a huge role they must fill to raise
their children. We will also discuss how young black men are being
trained to be dads. Special Guest: Kenneth Braswell (Executive Dir.)

Kenneth Braswell,
Director of the NYS Fatherhood Initiative declared, “In the New York
State Fatherhood Initiative's continuing work of serving over 1600
non-custodial parents to date—mostly fathers—we work passionately in
building the capacity of fathers to provide financially and
emotionally for their children. The Daddy Daughter Dance provided us
with a beautiful vision of our works' possibilities.”

Programs help men
become better dads.
The goal: Making
sure every day is father's day
"There is a pressure
on us, for some reason, for us to emulate the negative images we see
in the media as being a man," said Kenneth Braswell, head of Fathers
Inc., based in New York City. "Some men don't see the man as the
person who has a job, has an education, comes home and takes care of
his family."

Minority buying power grows
Entrepreneurs target mainstream markets
The Business
Review (Albany) - by
Robin Wood
The Business Review
http://albany.bizjournals.com/albany/stories/2004/08/23/story1.html
National corporations are seeing minority communities as an emerging
consumer market and realizing they have to understand minority
communities to make the most of their diverse work force. For example,
for companies that are moving workers to the region, making sure
transplanted employees can tap into social networks is a matter of
retention, Braswell said.
