Bridges: Reuniting Daughters and Daddies - 14th National Conference on Child Abuse and Neglect
Jonetta Rose Barras |
"Bridges: Reuniting Daughters and Daddies" offers insights derived from Ms. Barra's personal experience, that of her daughter, and those of other women interviewed in her book Whatever Happened to Daddy's Little Girl? The book discusses the importance of fathers in the development of their daughters, the adverse effects of father absence, and the reasons why fathers and daughters could benefit from reconciliation. Her remarks include suggestions for steps that could be taken by fathers and daughters, both separately and together, to bridge the gap that might have been created by years of estrangement. Ms. Barras also offers tips for sustaining the relationship after initial reconciliation, as well as for coming to closure over the loss when reconciliation proves unsuccessful.
Jonetta Rose Barras has more than 15 years of experience reporting and commenting on national social, political, and cultural trends. Rated one of the Top 50 Journalists in Washington by Washingtonian Magazine, she is considered one of the freshest voices speaking for Black America. Ms. Barras also hosts a popular radio talk show, "The Pulse," on WPFW-FM radio, which is part of the Pacifica Network.
