Скачать или смотреть Devin Roper | Help Is Not Weakness, A Judgment-Free Space Changed My Life as a Father

In this powerful testimonial, Devin Roper—a father from Flint, Michigan—shares his journey of growth, accountability, and redemption through fatherhood. Coming from a lineage of strong Black men, Devin reflects on the pride he carries in his father and grandfather and his determination to live up to that legacy for his own daughter.

Devin speaks candidly about growing up in Flint, navigating incarceration, and facing the pain of not being able to parent the way he knew he needed to—despite knowing what active fatherhood looked like. That gap became the driving force behind his decision to seek support.

Through InvolvedDad, Devin found more than resources—he found access, advocacy, and a judgment-free brotherhood. With the help of the program, he regained access to his daughter, secured shared guardianship, and is now pursuing full custody. He describes the space as one where men can speak openly, receive guidance, and walk alongside others facing similar struggles without fear of shame or exposure.

Devin’s message to other fathers is clear and powerful: you cannot do this alone. Asking for help is not weakness—it’s strategy. With the right support, fathers can fight for their children, reclaim their role, and build a better future for the next generation.
