Fatherhood, Grief & Breaking the Cycle with Kobina Ankomah-Graham

Season 01 Episode 004

Every father carries a story long before he becomes a parent. In this deeply personal episode of Dads Dey, Rodney Quarcoo sits down with writer, lecturer and cultural commentator Kobina Ankomah-Graham for an honest conversation about growing up with complicated fathers, learning to parent through pain, and finding peace with the parts of our childhood we cannot change.

Together they reflect on fractured family relationships, grief, divorce, co-parenting, forgiveness, masculinity and the pressure many African men feel to provide. Rather than offering easy answers, they explore what it means to break generational cycles while accepting that every parent is imperfect.

This is a thoughtful conversation about raising children with greater empathy, healing our own inner child, and choosing—every single day—to become better fathers than the generation before us.
