Omar Epps- Father of 3 speaks
When it comes to parenting…nothing can prepare you” says actor Omar Epps in a new interview with WebMd. As the father of three kids ages 9, 4, and 19 months, Omar certainly knows that parenting isn’t easy , but he does admit that being a parent is the “the greatest job in the world.”
Below are snippets from Omar’s recent interview with WebMd in which he talks about juggling fatherhood with the help of his wife singer Keisha Spivey.
On the most exciting part of fatherhood:
To see them learn something and to really see them go from zero to past zero.
On what he has learned from his children, daughter Aiyanna Yasmine,9, daughter K’marie,4, and son Amir,19 months:
I have learned to keep my innocence. I am an artist, so I have it in me to find the wonder in life. My kids are also pretty disciplined and determined. If they set their mind to do something, they will accomplish it and that is pretty admirable.
On his tips for new dads:
When it comes to parenting, there are many books and a lot of helpful things, but nothing can really prepare you. Once you are driving that ship, it’s the hardest, yet greatest job in the world.
On who wakes up in the middle of the night to attend to the kids:
It’s tough. When I work, my wife sleeps in the one year old’s room. My hours are too crazy and I can’t deal with midnight wake ups, so we make do.

On balancing work and home life:
I feel blessed to do what I love and be able to make a living and take care of my family. It has been a great ride so far, so it’s kind of easy to find a balance.

Jaden smith in China-Kung Fu fighting
Its the start of the summer holidays for most of us, but for jaden the filming has begun for his new movie Kung Fu Kid co starring Jackie Chan. Will it be good? will it be bad? the proof will be in the pudding. But for starters it wont be karate kid as we know it. There will be no Mr miyagi and no daniel larusso, hmmm.
My initial reaction was no no no, karate kid is a classic you cant remake that, but ive come round to the idea that jaden and jackie chan who are both good actors in their own right will definitely if anything put their own twist on it. Now I cant wait to see it.

Introduction
Hi everyone, today is day one of this blog, going to start and see how it goes. It warms my heart to see black families, but the focus will be on celebrity families, so we can all relate and know who we are referring to. Im hoping for this blog, that I highlight that there are successful black families out there. Hope some of you find this blog interesting and come along on this journey of discovery.
