In an effort to continue the conversation surrounding issues impacting black lives around the world, OWN has recently announced a new primetime special titled, OWN Spotlight: Oprah and 100 Black Fathers.

Oprah Winfrey will speak with 100 black fathers about how they are managing during this difficult time, how they talk with their children, and their dreams for the future.

In a statement, Oprah said, “I am honored to bring this conversation to light so we might better understand the emotional toll Black fathers endure, and how they continue to show up for their children, their family and the community.”

OWN President, Tina Perry stated, “In this special, Black fathers will share their personal stories and feelings in this moment and the hope they have for their families’ futures.”
