and Raising Dad magazine is a men's parenting magazine. Raising Dad magazine, or RDM, is a parenting magazine for singe parent fathers and fatherless families. We are a centralized coastal publication that has a wide growing demographic ranging from men and father ages 20-45 in the Greater New Orleans area. As an idea I had while attending college at Southeastern College of Art and Techology as a
young single parent father. During which, In our design/publication class, we were all tasks with creating a magazine. I thought, let's do something no one has ever seen before. There should be a resource for fathers that gives a compelling view into the lives of real fathers with realistic concerns, and coming up with real solutions for them. My single fatherhood started when my son was 3 years old. At the time, when I started college, I was working up to 5 jobs and taking city transit while on a journey that was something I was quite unprepared for. What came to mind, what helped, and what drove it forward every day, was my son. What forces me to question myself everyday and fight to change myself for the better... the answer to all was the same, my son. Thanks to the communication now shared between his mother and I, our child has a much larger family that cares for and love him dearly. Our Children teach us that legacy is made true by our responsibility as parents, but also by the male figure in a child's life. They create the idea that raises hope. Parents learn from our children just as we raise them. Humility teaches us that. Let us take this journey of self discovery together and learn how we can all better learn to live together so that our children may grow in a fruitful and peaceful world; together. Welcome to Raising Dad. - Mr. Ryan Carlos Castro, CEO and Editor in Chief
