In order to create a space for other parents to share their experiences with parenting, Joe Gonzales created a group for first-time fathers who don’t want to feel alone. The story went viral on TikTok.
Gonzales is a father and content creator from Brooklyn, New York, and he told the website Upworthy that “fathers, just like mothers, need a space to connect, share experiences, and support each other.”
He organized a meetup over the weekend, and several fathers showed up, along with brands wanting to offer products to distribute among them. A video shared on TikTok shows Gonzales and other fathers having fun with their children.
“Fathers want to improve. They want to grow. And they don’t want to do it alone,” Gonzales commented.
Users praised the initiative in the comments of the video. “Fathers need more events and communities like this,” said one of them. “Yes, events for fathers are needed so that mothers can have a day just for themselves,” joked another.
The group is called Brooklyn Stroll Club, and they are already planning another meetup for the end of January.
