I along with millions of Americans have grown up “Fatherless”. And today 40% of American children live in a fatherless home raised by single mothers, aunts, grandmothers and other female caregivers. Kobie Brown’s 2012 film
From Fatherless To Fatherhood explores the causes, effects and possible solutions to turning the corner on father absence. We met at Central Park for an unscripted, insightful conversation about the inspiration for the film, his family story and his goals. I love and support what Kobie is doing, solutions through dialogue.
“Before You leave this planet, it is important that you get in touch with what your purpose is and not be defined by what your job or career may be..but find out what it is you are suppose to do for the betterment of mankind and everything else will fall into place.” – Kobie during our Central Park conversation

The global private security industry employs twice as many people as governments have police officers. In NYC- museums, dept stores, clubs, hospitals, parks, apt bldgs -you cant escape. So where do they get their etiquette training and glock certification? There are a plethora of NYC vocational security schools. I randomly met Katibu while he was finishing lunch with a friend I was meeting, so took the opportunity to film his small story. Katibu Hatcher loves it and feels like he is making a difference as the director of First Security based in Times Square. We learn his story from Connecticut to NYC, take a tour, view a training class and learn how one chooses the best glock for training. Pretty surreal. And I thought I was just getting lunch.
