A few years ago , Michael Brown met a stranger at a coffee shop who told him to stay involved in his daughter's life.

Brown: "I want you to know that I'm not a shiny unicorn. There are plenty of black men just like me who love fatherhood" Brown: Black dads have challenges that other dads don't experience.

I will always be there for her and her baby sister.

I hope when you pick up your next latte and see a dad who looks like me that you'll smile knowing he's the rule rather than the exception.

Please don't fall into the trap of saying that you want to live in a colorblind world because it makes it harder to identify with inequality.
