Our story
Founded in 2015 by Bilal Munir Rahim, Our Black Fathers Committee was created to challenge damaging narratives about Black fathers and establish culturally relevant spaces for mentorship, leadership development, and community connection. The work grew from lived experience, fatherhood, youth mentorship, and a commitment to helping boys and young men develop identity, responsibility, discipline, and purpose.
The OBFC Project's community work now includes structured rites-of-passage experiences, one-on-one and group mentorship, fatherhood conversations, mentor training, cultural and educational events, and partnerships with community organizations. Music and creative expression have also remained part of the brand's effort to counter negative stereotypes and deliver messages rooted in unity, resilience, healing, pride, and self-empowerment.
