Overview
TV star and New York Times bestselling author Devale Ellis shares everything he's learned as a dad raising four sons and explores the gifts that parenting has provided to make him a better spouse, businessman, teacher, mentor, and man.
Going into marriage and parenthood, Devale Ellis had a lot of expectations—but the birth of his first son changed everything. Each one of his four boys taught him something new about himself. Instead of limiting him, fatherhood helped him grow, heal, and become the sort of man his own sons could emulate. It inspired him to look more critically at how he showed up for his family and realized that the way he spoke to his boys would become the voice they carried into the world.
In Raising Kings, Devale shares his successes and failures so that others can learn from them. He invites readers to appreciate the importance of vulnerability in parenting, advocating for an open dialogue that strengthens family bonds. He highlights the importance of building accountability to your children and transforming generational patterns.
A moving and realistic account of Black fatherhood, Raising Kings provides valuable insights for any parent who wants to show up as their best self and leave a meaningful legacy for their children.
