POPTalk - Hezekiah Walker

Grammy Award-winning gospel-music artist, founder and leader of the Love Fellowship Choir (LFC), and Pastor and Bishop of the Love Fellowship Tabernacle Church in Brooklyn, NY,  Bishop Hezekiah Walker spoke candidly with Today’s Child about fatherhood.


"I want to leave my daughter, KyAsia, a ministry dedicated to helping lift and support others." 

One of the most important lessons taught to him by his parents was being respectful.


 “My parents taught me to respect myself and others.” The Bible says do unto others as you would have them do unto you. “ So the way you treat others that’s the kind of treatment that’s coming back to you.”

PopTalk: What Famous Dads Have to Say about Fatherhood

Check out what Famous Fathers have to say about Fatherhood.

Two years ago, President Obama called on all men to become more present in their children’s lives. The President reflected, “that of all the rocks upon which we build our lives, family is the most important.”  Today’s Child Communications/TCC Family Media in its goal of providing resources to families asks several celebrity and famous  men the question—what does fatherhood and family  mean to you?

All week long we will bring you some of their best quotes from previous interviews with Today’s Child magazine. Are men nurturers? What is their primary motivation for having children? What legacies do they want to leave to their offspring?

A Great Summer Travel Gift for your wife, woman, ladyfriend, partner, or girl

Listen up fellas, associates, ballers on a budget:


Flowerbomb is a great summer perfume to buy and make your lady very happy. It is a  really "delicious" fragrance most welcomed during this summer's hot and humid weekend vacation trips. ;)


Like its name and grenade-shaped bottle, Flowerbomb is supposed to evoke the image of an explosion of flowers: orchids, roses, jasmine, amber and patchouli. 


I think it smells like citrus-sugar candy: a sweet vanilla cream pop that keeps you coming back for more.


It's affordable and its distinct. Try it. I know you and, of course, your lady, will (kabooom) love it!

How You Like Me Now

My brother Mike and I didn't meet til I was 16 years old. Our father died in car crash when my mother was pregnant with me. Mike was four years old at the time. (The 44th anniversary of our Dad's death was May 25th). But enough of the heavy stuff (more on all this later). Mike is running for Ward 3 for the Morristown (NJ) Town Council.

Strictly grassroots, he put forth a strong campaign effort but in last Tuesday's primary election; he lost by 79 votes. Like me, he's not one to take losing lightly. Now, we're planning a write-in candidacy for the general election. Can't fault his desire, can do nothing but admire his resolve.
