Listen in as Ms. Diamond shares the multicultural dimension of this and related events.
The second hour Carl continues celebrating. But this time, the focus of attention is Father’s Day. Michael Blackwell is a Certified Addictions Counselor at Westcare. He’ll join Carl along with two of his daugthers who’ll speak with them via telephone from two different states. The conversation will center on the beauty of this truly blended family. Michael Blackwell will share his story of having been raised by his devoted stepfather, the man he calls father. As a devoted stepfather himself, he and his daughters help form a racially mixed family and they tell the story of the daughters’ love for the man they call father.
