It is my mission to be intentional, present and nurturing. Forever learning and advocating for the needs of my family and community. - Josh Zawadi, Co-Founder Life reDefined and Melanated Daddy
To my wife and unborn child I promise love, compassion, understanding, patience and intention to be my best, as often as I can. Allow me the grace of my imperfections and I promise they will get lesser in time.
If you both allow me to love you, I will love you both with all my heart. Our journeys will be the most important part of my life and I can not wait to start it and see where we go as a family. Christoper F., Milwaukee 2023 |

I will show them what I want them to know, I will show love and compassion unconditionally. I shall provide a safe place emotionally for my partner. We will share our feelings with one another openly. If I fall twice, I will get up 3 times. I understand I'm imperfect and no body can give 100% all the time. It's ok to not be ok. I will speak life into myself. I will tell myself you deserve to be a parent and you are doing great. JoAaron S. Milwaukee, WI - 2023
I will always be here for my family.
I will always help my partner with anything that concerns our son and beyond. I will always give myself grace. Kazim O. Milwaukee, WI 2023 |
