An Orbit of Art: "Creating Space: The Power of Present Fathers"

Sincerely Brad celebrates the strength and influence of present fathers. This panel, led by Blk Fathers & Cool X Dad, explores the real-life impact of fatherhood, offering stories and wisdom on raising the next generation with intention and care.

About "Sincerely Brad"

Sincerely Brad is a short film by Isaac Yowman that examines fatherhood, identity, and sacrifice. Set in an aerospace city during a tense political climate, it follows a biracial couple navigating cultural divides as they prepare to welcome their first child. While Zoey faces the challenges of pregnancy, her fiancé wrestles with the responsibility of becoming a father and the pull of a dangerous NASA mission that could secure a safer future for their unborn son, but might cost him being there to raise him.
