Chris White on Fatherhood, Access, and Building a Movement That Supports Every Dad
Description:

In this episode of the *I Am Dad Podcast*, host Kenneth Braswell sits down with **Chris White**, Executive Director of **Father Movement** and CFO of **Fathers Matter ATL**, to discuss how his personal fatherhood experiences have driven him to create impactful, father-focused programs in Georgia and beyond.
