Fuego, an educator, opens up about stepping into fatherhood without seasoned guidance, while Lloyd, a businessman who raised his family in Brazil, reflects on becoming a father at 22 and the generational growth that followed. Together, they shine a light on the unspoken lessons men learn while building legacy and love from the ground up.
