Fathers Incorporated

Fathers Incorporated (FI) is a nationally and internationally recognized leader in the promotion of responsible fatherhood, family strengthening, and community transformation. Established in 2004 in Atlanta, Georgia, the organization has become one of the most respected voices in the field, known for its innovative use of advocacy, training, research, and multimedia to advance the engagement of fathers in the lives of their children. Through partnerships with government agencies, foundations, and community organizations, Fathers Incorporated delivers capacity-building programs, policy guidance, and technical assistance that empower practitioners and policymakers to strengthen families and improve outcomes for children.

Under the leadership of Founder and CEO Kenneth Braswell, Fathers Incorporated has expanded its national footprint through initiatives such as the management of the National Responsible Fatherhood Clearinghouse (NRFC) for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The organization’s award-winning public education campaigns, including #RealDadsRead and Beyond Silence and Violence, have reached millions, shifting cultural perceptions about fathers while addressing issues such as literacy, family safety, and community well-being.

As a sought-after speaker, trainer, and thought leader, Kenneth Braswell has conducted more than 600 keynotes, workshops, and training events across 33 states and five countries, engaging diverse audiences—from federal agencies and universities to faith-based institutions and community organizations. His signature presentations address topics such as father engagement, the social determinants of family health, emotional intelligence in men, community leadership, and the intersections of faith, manhood, and public service. Braswell’s engaging style blends personal storytelling with research-based insight, inspiring audiences to view fatherhood not only as a role but as a powerful force for generational change.

In addition to his leadership at Fathers Incorporated, Braswell is the Founder and Principal of Fathers and Families of Georgia, LLC (FFG)—a social impact and consulting enterprise that leverages the methodologies and expertise developed through FI to deliver strategic training, technical assistance, and content development across a wider array of disciplines. While rooted in fatherhood, FFG’s work extends to organizational development, communications strategy, curriculum design, and leadership training—helping nonprofits, government agencies, and private organizations implement programs that drive measurable social outcomes.

Braswell’s influence extends beyond his executive and training roles. As a published author of eleven books and host of the nationally streamed “I Am Dad” podcast, he continues to shape public dialogue on fatherhood, masculinity, and family wellness. His work has been recognized by Oprah Winfrey and the OWN Network, the Atlanta Business Chronicle, and numerous national and civic institutions honoring his innovation, advocacy, and servant leadership.

Today, through both Fathers Incorporated and Fathers and Families of Georgia, Kenneth Braswell continues to expand a global movement—training leaders, empowering fathers, and transforming families through the belief that when fathers thrive, communities flourish.
