Real Dads Network – Sharing Stories About Fatherhood 

The Real Dads Network is the outgrowth of the award-winning documentary Real Dads -Black Men on Fatherhood in 2000. It included commentary by the late Ossie Davis and was directed by Derek Phillips and Nikki Dees. The purpose of documentary was to show positive black fathers who were actively involved in the nurturing and raising of their children. As a result of the feedback from the documentary, it became evident that there was a strong need for an organization where fathers could tell their stories and share their experiences.

Mega Dads – One of The Dad Groups Living That Gamer Life 

Mega Dads was created in March 2014 as a gaming community. It was created by guys who balance their love of video games with the responsibilities of adulthood. Spouses, children and careers take up a considerable amount of time. Trying to fit a time consuming hobby into your day can be quite a challenge. Therefore Mega Dads presents a humorous look at that life. Mega Dads isn’t just for parents though. They provide a look at the video game industry that hopefully will be funny and informative to everybody. Check out their site here.
