I like that..a subject not usually touched on a positive matter..African-American fathers..this is beautiful..

ILL BE PURCHASING, BUT I WOULDNT BE STANDING NEXT TO TRACEY EDMONDS DUMB ASS…

i bet it will be a great book!

Serena has been looking fierce lately! She has a shape out of this world!
I’m glad to see a positive subject about Black fathers.

Nice idea! We need more of this sort of thing, that reflects the positive side of the Black community.

THIS IS DIFFERENT AND SOUNDS INTERESTING AND TRUTHFUL. I HOPE EVERYONE GOES OUT AND SUPPORT THIS BOOK…HEY…IF WE SUPPORTED SUPERHEAD I’M PRETTY SURE WE CAN COME TOGETHER AND SUPPORT SOMETHING WORTH SUPPORTING. JUST SAYING….

What a wonderful idea to celebrate black fathers, there are some great ones. I have one. It’s about time we show black men in a positive light.

I heard that is an exceptional book! I would love to get it for my father!

Very interesting book - i’ll check it out for sure!

great idea.. and i got a greatttt father.. love the book and will def get a copy

And everyone pictured looks very nice!

Awwwwwwwww
that’s incredible
I’m daddy’s “little” girl
so its nice to see something like this
aint nothin like a bond between daughter and father

this book is a great idea…. cause i think too many of us including myself have daddy issues or lack of a father growing up this is another view love it

I love it! I want a copy!..I’m going to get it for my husband and my daughter…

I still think Tracey is nothing but an OPPROTUNIST. Good for Eddie’s a$$.

This is great idea for book, showcasing positive Black men who do the right thing even if they are longer with the mother of their child. How Ms. Edmonds got involved is a little weird seeing as how her soon to be husband did the exact opposite to Scary Spice. She needs to read the book to Eddie.

i hope its a good read

Kudos!

I hope a large number of young, black fathers cop it too - not just the sisters. It’s important that they get the perspective through the daughterss eyes and use it as yet another tool for building a healthy family!

Great Look!

I love to see black men taking care of their kids, I especially cherish that father/daughter bond, being that I never had it. I’ll check the book out at the book store, but I won’t buy it. LOL, just keeping it real.

Awww, i miss the soul food ladies….nicole got her beautiful body back.

Serena is looking awesome lately! This is a great book idea. It is so sad how I watch tv and movies and they have blubs about Black fathers not being there. I am shocked but realistically, are they wrong…hmmmm……. It’s sad when I see a black father walking their child to I smile so big…it’s heartwarming to know there are some men that do take care of their children….

Hold up Hold up how is Tracey writing a book on good fathers and her fiancee is denying his baby by Melanie Brown. Hell she pimping the hood to. Hell if people gone by your book oh well.

What in the mess…

Ah nicole got her beautiful body back. noooo! Her beautiful face yes, her body looks sicky, I heard she is a vegitarian but c’mon girl you could eat a litter more. She looks like a skelton.

Tracy needs to make sure she gives that book to Eddie deadbeat ass, I mean come on now that shit isnt right that he doesn’t take care of this own DAUGHTER by Mel and lord knows how many other kids the fag doesn’t take care of.

@23 UH I dont believe she’s the author!!!

I dont know about the book, but im not going to say anything until I have a chance to read atleast some of it!

Number 23! You are so right!

You know as soon as I got on this website I love so much, I saw that they had a post about Mekhi Phiffer( how ever you spell that) His fiance just gave birth to their son this morning. Who is also named Mekhi. So I was surprised to see Melinda in one of the Concreteloop’s post today. How Ironic.

Just ordered my copy and copies Christmas gifts.
Fathers — esp. good fathers should always be celebrated.

Thanks CL - I hadn’t heard of this project or this book before your posting.
Definitely a good look.

I love the idea of the book…I am intrigued to go and pick up a copy. Recognizing good fathers great…I wish my daddy could be in the book…since he is such a wonderful man:>(

oops typo. I meant Fiancee!

Rachel Vassel is the Author of the book

Sanaa’s father Stan Lathan is a handsome man and always about his business.

Beautiful concept. All the ladies are lovely, but Tracey and Sanaa are just drop dead gorgeous! Looks like a wonderful event.

Yea just read that wrong, Im bout to say.

WOW, thats refreshing. The way things are portrayed in the media you would think tha black father was a myth. Will def. look out for this book.

**Sigh**

And in the words of Forrest Gump, that’s all I’m gonna say about that. It’s about time.

I will definately buy this book. I love to hear positive things about black men, because we do have a tendency to beat up on them way too often.

Personally, I am glad to see that many people posted here have great fathers, mine was “absent” perhaps I will buy him a copy too, so that he can see what he missed!

brandy and her dad in there i’m coping.

Serena looks really good there.. well her arm still looks like a dude’s but thank God for small favors!!

This is a very nice gesture by the sister. To hear people tell it, you would think that the black father is somewhere hiding with Osama Bin Laden, bigfoot, and Elvis in a cave somewhere. It gets so pervasive that even black people that were raised with a black father chime in. Sanaa Lathan’s owes her entire career to her father and the doors he opened for her, especially seeing as it’s even harder for black women in mainstream movies than it is for black men. She still took part in a film like “Something New” and then went on Oprah to endorse that nonsense about the black man needing to “catch up” with the black woman (Job 8:8, Prov 17:6).

It still pisses me off that the cast of Soul Food, wanted out to focus on other projects, and other than Rockmond none of them have had steady work. I know Nicole was busy having kids, but what’s everyone elses excuse. I mean you give up a guaranteed job for a movie every now and then.

Sanaa Lathan’s dad is hot. but thats obviously not the point here.

even though i despise Tracey Edmons this looks to be a great event. everyone looks beautiful and the subject of the book is sweet.

BLACK PEOPLE STICKING TOGETHER>>>>LOVES IT

Serena looks cute sans the shirt

Definately a good look for the black communitry. Malinda Williams is so pretty, she lookds great here. I do support the book’s message, though it isn’t usually the type of book I would buy..

yesss! i just met the author and it is going to be a great book because she actually wrote about this subject because she didn’t have a father to be such a role model in her own life… how many of us can relate to that now?… so inspirational!

MALINDA WILLIAMS is looking good

I am buying two books - one for my Daddy and one for me. My father is a good, God-fearing Black man, married to my mother for the last 30 years…YES. I am glad this book was put together!

Sanaa’s father is beautifully handsome. I hope that my husband possesses that spiritual beauty that seems to radiate internally from him and definitely has been inherited by Sanaa.

I AGREE #49.AND THE BOOK IS A GOOD LOOK.THOSE LADIES ARE BLESSED 2 HAVE FATHERS IN THEIR LIVES.I WISH I WAS AS FORTUNATE..

aww thats sweet (an important) Sounds like good reading
i like Tracies dress

-cosigns with #50

Fantastic idea. Now they must do a Sons Of Men edition.

Malinda is a trully beautiful woman.

I like Rockmond’s look. Very casual and works at any event.

This is such a great topic to discuss.This book should be brought for a lot of men that don’t understand the impact they have on their little girl’s lives.

@ #49 - I couldn’t have said it better, I concur!!!

LOL@43 I was thinking the same thing that is one fine looking older man. I support this book,black men don’t get enough props!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love the black man

It seems like a good book

This is good, just the other day I was saying all this gossip and backbiting and negativity laced with hate undre the guise of entertainemt should cease. I then said it would be nice if they had some of kind of bookclub of showcased books then maybe these fools would read and stop having somuch to say about people whod don’t even know they eixt and some people I believe sit at this computer all day and night and wait for concreteloop to post so they can give thire opinions, if they got paid they would be mutimillionares, its the same people at the same time everyday making comments, just plain sick, all up in this so ccall celebrity ish!!!! Some sick peole.
Thanks for book review.

PLEASE FORGIVE THE TYPOS!!!!!

what a breathe of fresh air, i think i will do something similar for my dad.

that last picture should’ve been a “caption this”….because Nicole is looking spooky as hell looking away and Melinda and Vanessa are looking at her like “what, what do you see???” LOL!

@ #35…Why would you rely on the media for anything? What? Because they rarely mention black fathers they are supposed to be parable? And you are the same person trying to call other people dumb? LMAO! Hilarious!

Now this is one book I will support.

What a great idea! This book needs more publicity!

WOW I’m will be getting a copy of this, I’ve never seen Sanaa’s father before and I agree w/ 49 he’s a beautiful man. What an awesome book to write, I’m sure she (the author) enjoyed putting it together.

word @ 23.

Ow Sanna Lathan’s dad looks good for an old man.

This was a wonderful event. Lisa and her team did a great job of showcasing this incredible project. Many of the women and their fathers featured in the project were there. They were all very warm and kind folks.

I am hopeful that the author, some of the ladies and their fathers will introduce this much needed conversation to the city of Detroit.

Char

Im going to get it for my father…so he can see what the hell he was supposed to do. LOL. No seriously, it looks like a good book and I wish it much success. I do plan to buy a copy of it to show my support

Good that black father’s are been acknowledged and appreciated by their daughters. A father’s input in their daughter’s life is so important. Some men just don’t understand what being a father is about so we need more events that highlight the one’s who do. Will be buying a copy.

What a beautiful project. The role of the black father being appreciated. Hopefully these youngin baby daddys who be walkin out on his family take a look at this!

Just a second–is there another Vanessa Williams, cause that lady dont look like Wilehemina from Ugly Betty??!! A lil help here people bout who that is.

Serena lookin SHARP!

EWWW, whats happened to Nicole Ari Parker. She looks like a DYKE in those fotos.

Seems like it would b a vry interesting read…….but ah…wah wrong w/Nicole Ari Parker….after having 2 babies why she look so dry-out and suck-out and shrink dung 2 NUTTIN!!!! It dont look natural….was she sick!?

THAT IS NOT VANESSA WILLIAMS, GET IT TOGETHER CL.

Y’all are some dumbasses. That is Vanessa Williams. It’s called google. Type ‘Vanessa Williams Soul Food’ and see what pops up.

Well sorry Wrong, not all of us were familiar with that. Doesn’t make us dumbasses.

apparantly two celebrities have the same name. who knew. obviously every one knows the more important one

I love this idea!! Wish I had thought of it first.

I will certainly be getting a copy.
