About Me:

D. A.. SEARS is the author.editor of a book on Fatherhood and Men’s Issues – IN SEARCH OF FATHERHOOD® -- TRANSCENDING BOUNDARIES; the Managing Editor of a quarterly international male parenting journal which was launched in October 1999—IN SEARCH OF FATHERHOOD® --- and is exclusively published and distributed by BSI International, inc. (www.bsi-international.com) in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; and the creator and moderator of IN SEARCH OF FATHERHOOD®’s blog at http://globalfatherhooddialogue. blogspot.com – all of which facilitates a “Global Dialogue on Fatherhood” for Men who are Fathers from all Walks of Life throughout our global village. The concept for IN SEARCH OF FATHERHOOD® was created by Sears’ mentor, the late L.T. Henry, a classically trained jazz musician who performed with the Philadelphia Orchestra and was a former drummer for internationally acclaimed songstress and film and television star Ms. Della Reese; author; photojournalist; and sales and success motivation trainer who died on 1 March 1999 without having an opportunity to develop his vision of an interactive Fatherhood Forum. Shortly after Mr. Henry’s death, Sears began the process of resurrecting her late mentor’s vision through the launching of the quarterly international male parenting journal, the publishing of a book, and the creation of a Fatherhood blog. SEARS is a member of the University Council for Akamai University’s Fatherhood and Men’s Studies Program (www.akamaiuniversity.us) which is located in Hilo, Hawaii. She advises the President of Akamai University on Fatherhood issues and assists him in the enhancement of the institution’s Fatherhood and Men’ Studies curriculum and in forming strategic alliances with national and international Fatherhood organizations. She is also a member of the Philadelphia Fatherhood Practitioners Network. SEARS has interviewed more than 100 Men who are Fathers throughout our global village concerning issues directly and indirectly related to Fatherhood and has developed working relationships with male parenting organizations in Australia, Canada, Europe and the United States.
