His photo on this month’s cover shows Jerell Willis crossing the Brooklyn Bridge with his son Fidel. The image is part of Father Figure, Lee’s project exploring African American fatherhood.

As Lee immersed himself in these families’ daily lives, he witnessed tender interactions that ran counter to stereotypes of Black men as indifferent or absent fathers. Despite challenging financial and personal circumstances, the men Lee encountered were “loving, present, and responsible fathers,” he says, who worked hard to provide for and nurture their children.
