💪🏽 Oklahoma Fatherhood Summit 2025
Hosted by Birthright Living Legacy & OCCY
Theme: “Be You. Be Different. Be Dad.”
This past weekend, fathers and leaders across Oklahoma came together to celebrate, learn, and grow in what it means to truly show up for family and community. 🙌🏽
🎤 Keynote Highlights
Dr. George James dropped wisdom on intentional presence and giving yourself permission. He reminded us that being a father isn’t just showing up physically, but emotionally. It’s about modeling growth, vulnerability, and love every day. ❤️

Thomas Pfanner from Dads Who Lead challenged men to embrace leadership in the home. 🧠👑
He spoke on turning comfort into courage, guiding your family team with purpose, clarity, and consistent action.
