Reverend Roderick Bradley, Founder, Urban Experience Magazine “My father that I was raised under, was a great provider but struggled in the area of being a father. We knew that he loved us, but he had a way of showing it. Today his way of raising us would be thought as cruel and inhuman. The bottom-line is that we knew he loved us. He was very disciplined and there are somethings that as I was growing up I said that I would not do, yet I knew he loved his family, protected and provided for his family.” - Reverend Roderick Bradley. Dr. Clair Rudison Jr. Management Consultant. “A father is someone who is there and is doing his best for his family. Sometimes, fathers are not present, yet they are there spiritually and financially. A father is concerned about the upkeep and forming of their offspring. A father is concerned about more than just his household, but he’s also concerned about his community and that the community is safe.” - Clair Eugene Rudison Jr. Pastor Ricky Martin.
