OWN Spotlight: They Call Me Dad will highlight five famous fathers as the program celebrates the special bond of Black fathers and their children.
Throughout the course of the series, viewers will get exclusive access to these five celebrity fathers doing things outside of the spotlight like braiding hair, coaching teams, to having the “talk” about how to deal with law enforcement.
