Daddy’s Girl: Celebrating the Power and Presence of Black Fathers in Their Daughters’ Lives

On the June 6th edition of The Daily Drum, guest host Molette Green welcomes Dr. David C. Miller father, author, and founder of the Dare to Be King Project for a heartfelt conversation about Black fatherhood. With over 25 years of experience supporting families, Dr. Miller discusses how Black fathers play a vital, often underappreciated role in their daughters’ emotional and psychological development.

He highlights the unique benefits daughters receive when their fathers are present and engaged, from greater self-esteem and body positivity to reduced risk-taking behaviors. The segment also tackles the persistent misconceptions about Black fatherhood and how these powerful relationships help daughters build resilience against racism, sexism, and societal pressures.

Dr. Miller shares deeply personal stories of raising his own daughters and explains how intentional parenting can shape a girl’s view of love, respect, and self-worth.


Join Dr. Miller in person on Saturday, June 7th, from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. at the Tenley-Friendship Library in Washington, DC, for a special event focused on strengthening father-daughter bonds in the Black community.
