In this episode we sit down to celebrate Father's Day with Oswaldo Ramirez and Ashton Fulcher.  Oswaldo Ramirez is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and college professor. Ashton Fulcher is a youth counselor in San Diego. They join THOTM to reflect on fatherhood, and share their parenting experiences and lessons.

Katherine Vilchez is a counselor and instructor at several community colleges in San Diego, working specifically with programs that support underrepresented student populations.  Darielle Blevins is also a college counselor and instructor, who is earning a Ph.D in early child development. Our conversation focused on the unique experiences of first generation college students, mental/emotional needs of Black and Latino students, systemic oppression, and the specific challenges facing Black girls in education. Talking with these women is always a joy, so you’ll definitely be hearing more from them in the near future.
