Bodé Aboderin (also known as Papa B) is a motivational speaker, writer, businessman, and stay-at-home dad on a mission to communicate his rapidly changing beliefs on fatherhood and masculinity in real time following his recent conversion from climbing the corporate ladder to running a household and family business.
Having excelled in his career as a client relationship manager while becoming a father of three, Papa B is living proof that black fatherhood is compatible with ambition and can inspire, nourish, and amplify it. By dispelling the negative stereotypes of being a black dad in Britain, he utilises his natural flair for motivational speech to share the joyful and transformative journey of starting a family without avoiding the inherent challenges and lessons to be learned.
In addition to managing school schedules, feeding the family, and staying on top of a mountain of laundry, Bodé, originally from Nigeria, now runs a growing media business with his wife, Candice Brathwaite, supporting and championing her plans for world domination. Bodé is eager to share this transformation's extraordinary and enlightening impact on his fundamental beliefs and values through the content he shares on social media, speaking engagements, and his writing.
Recently, Bode was also honoured as the only male speaker at Pregnant Then Screwed, a festival celebrating mothers with careers. Bode also appeared on Zoe Blaskey's Motherkind podcast, where he passionately discussed fatherhood, acceptance, and purpose. As the Pillow Talk podcast host with his wife, Bode articulately tackles thought-provoking topical issues every week.
