About the Press.
An independent publishing company producing practical, experience-informed resources concerning fathers, families, practitioners, and communities.
Young Fatherhood Press LLC is an independent publishing company established in 2026 to publish practical, experience-informed resources concerning fathers, families, practitioners, and communities.
The Press was founded on the belief that the experiences, challenges, strengths, and needs of teen and young fathers deserve serious attention in publishing, programs, policy, and community life.
Its first publication, Young Fatherhood: The Blueprint, grows from more than thirty years of direct fatherhood work and offers practical guidance for professionals and organizations seeking to better understand and serve teen and young fathers.
Young Fatherhood Press is committed to producing resources that connect lived experience with practical application and help strengthen fathers, children, families, and communities.
The Experience Behind the Book
This book did not begin with a manuscript. It grew from more than thirty years of doing the work, beginning in Jamaica, Queens; serving communities throughout New York City and across Florida; and helping develop and strengthen fatherhood programs in dozens of cities throughout the country.
Haki Nkrumah has become a trusted national voice in the engagement and support of teen and young fathers. Practitioners, organizations, and community leaders across the country have sought his guidance on outreach, program development, father engagement, and effective service. He has trained professionals, helped communities establish fatherhood initiatives, convened national conferences, and received some of the field’s highest recognition.
Young Fatherhood: The Blueprint brings that lifetime of experience together. It is not theory developed from a distance, it is knowledge earned through decades of listening to fathers, building programs, strengthening organizations, and doing the work.

Young Fatherhood Press begins with Young Fatherhood: The Blueprint, but our vision extends beyond one book.
As the Press grows, we expect to develop and publish practical, experience-informed books and educational resources addressing fatherhood and parenting, family strengthening, co-parenting, youth development, and the growth of boys and young men.
We also envision resources for practitioners, community organizations, educators, and others working to strengthen fathers, families, and communities.
Young Fatherhood Press is in the early stages of its journey. We will grow thoughtfully, publishing work that reflects real experience, offers practical value, and supports positive change.
