Father Figures:

A Celebration of Men Who Matter

A Night That Finally Saw Them.

On November 20, 2025, Atlanta witnessed something historic — a room full of fathers, mentors, and community shapers being honored, uplifted, and seen.

Father Figures was created to give Black fathers, father figures, and male mentors the space to breathe, reflect, laugh, release, and be celebrated.

Through spoken word, honest conversation, and community connection, the night honored the men who show up in homes, schools, neighborhoods, barbershops, and beyond.

It wasn't a performance; it was a moment of truth and recognition.

About Father Figures™

A FatherWorks™ Initiative Powered by Ain’t No Manual

Father Figures is a signature initiative of FatherWorks™, a movement dedicated to strengthening, celebrating, and supporting Black fatherhood through community, mentorship, and truth-telling.

The Ain’t No Manual Podcast serves as a storytelling partner, amplifying the voices, experiences, and realities of fatherhood through conversation, lived experiences, and cultural dialogue.

Together, FatherWorks and Ain’t No Manual created a night that celebrated the men who show up every day — in their homes, in their communities, and in the lives of the next generation.

We all know a man who deserves his flowers.

He leads with love. He serves without praise. He shows up, even when it’s hard.\

Now’s your chance to tell him what he means to you.

Tell us about him — share his story, his lesson, his love.

Let’s honor the men who make a difference — every day.

Father Figures:

A Celebration of Men Who Matter

Making Men Feel Seen, Valued & Celebrated

Date: November 20, 2025 | Time: 6 PM – 9 PM | Location: The Gathering Spot, Atlanta, GA


There’s no manual for being a man, but there is a moment to honor the ones who show up every day.


Father Figures is more than an event; it’s a movement. Through live performances, fireside chats, and intentional recognition, we’re giving men their flowers now, while they can still smell them.

Join Ain’t No Manual Podcast, FatherWorks, and The Gathering Spot for an unforgettable evening celebrating the impact of fathers, mentors, brothers, and friends who make a difference in their homes and communities.
