Forgotten Dads’ Voices
Forgotten Dads Voices
How It Was Born. What We Do. Why It Matters.
How It Was Born
Forgotten Dads Voices was born from real life. From struggle. From growth. From doing the work. Founded by Nathanial Q. D. Slater Sr., this movement began during a personal transformation—a moment where everything had to change. After years of carrying pressure, pain, and disconnection, Nathanial made a decision to break cycles, commit to growth, and become the father his children deserved.
Too many fathers are out here struggling in silence. Fathers who feel:
- Unseen
- Unheard
- Overlooked
- Disconnected from their purpose
What We Do
Forgotten Dads Voices is a father-centered movement dedicated to uplifting and supporting fathers through healing, growth, and leadership development. We create safe, real, and powerful spaces where fathers can speak openly without judgment, reflect on their journey, rebuild their identity, and strengthen their role as fathers.
Founder Bio – Forgotten Dads Voices
Nathanial Slater Sr. is a devoted father, mentor, and the founder of Forgotten Dads Voices, a movement rooted in lived experience, resilience, and transformation. His work is driven not by theory, but by a deeply personal journey—one shaped by both the challenges of his childhood and the responsibility he now carries as a father.
Growing up, Nathanial experienced firsthand the gaps, struggles, and emotional weight that many children and fathers face when guidance, stability, and support are limited. Those early experiences left an imprint—but instead of allowing them to define him, they became the foundation for his purpose. He made a decision to break cycles, to grow, and to become the kind of man and father he didn’t always have.
Fatherhood became the turning point in his life.
As a father, Nathanial understands the real pressures, sacrifices, and responsibilities that come with raising children while trying to build a better life. His children are his greatest motivation—the reason he continues to evolve, stay disciplined, and lead with intention. Every lesson he teaches, every program he builds, and every father he reaches is rooted in his commitment to creating a different legacy for them.
Through his own journey of growth, accountability, and self-discovery, Nathanial recognized a powerful truth: many fathers are not absent because they don’t care—they are often unheard, unsupported, and unequipped. This realization gave birth to Forgotten Dads Voices.
His mission is clear—to restore, rebuild, and empower fathers by giving them the tools, support, and community they need to show up fully for their children and themselves. He is passionate about helping men heal, develop practical life and parenting skills, and find strength in accountability and brotherhood.
Nathanial’s approach is rooted in authenticity. He speaks from experience, leads with empathy, and believes that change is possible for every man willing to do the work. His story is not about perfection—it’s about progress, growth, and transformation.
Today, through Forgotten Dads Voices and the Walking with Dads model, Nathanial is creating spaces where fathers are seen, heard, and supported—breaking generational cycles and building stronger families, one father at a time.

And this is where fathers become unstoppable.
The Core Philosophy of Walking With Dads by Nathanial Slater Sr.
Our Core Beliefs
The Walking With Dads philosophy is a transformative framework created by Nathanial Q. D. Slater Sr. It is designed to empower fathers by providing a clear pathway from isolation to leadership.
True guidance is found when we stop pointing fingers and start walking shoulder to shoulder.
Presence
It’s about showing up for your children even when it is difficult. Impact is born from being the consistent, essential anchor your family needs.
Growth
Ownership is the fuel for your transformation. We take radical accountability for our past to secure a legacy of leadership for the next generation.
Brotherhood
Guidance happens when we stop walking alone. We foster strength through shared struggles, active listening, and walking shoulder to shoulder.
DAILY ACTIONS
Impact is not born from intensity, it is born from consistency.
By adopting this philosophy, fathers transition from being 'forgotten' to being the essential anchors of their families and their broader communities.
Every Father Has a Story. Every Voice Matters.
We are building a future where fathers feel heard and supported—creating a safe, respectful environment to share the challenges and triumphs of the modern journey.
