Changing The Trajectory

About Us

Our Vision

My Daddy Taught Me Better envisions a world where today's youth will overcome obstacles to become whole, healthy, contributing members of their community, country, and world. We envision a world where the phrase “My Daddy Taught Me Better” becomes second nature when youth are faced with crossroads in life. Our intent is not to replace father figures but to offer additional support to youth that may lack guidance or their families may not have adequate resources to foster an environment that allows their children to flourish and thrive.

My Daddy Taught Me Better Inc

Sean P. Kendrick, Sr

President

Born to Paul Kendrick and Janie Glover, Sean P. Kendrick, Sr. was raised in Florida.  Since his childhood, he always understood the impact of being raised in a 2 parent home.  He also understood the impact of the roles his mother and father played in his development, learning valuable lessons from both.  As a proud graduate of Morehouse College (B.A., Psychology), Sean experienced firsthand the support, guidance, leadership, and cultivation of educated, successful, caring, and strong Black men.  Their example also encouraged him to pursue his Master of Education and, subsequently, his Master of Business Administration from American Intercontinental University.  During his early career, he worked in a treatment facility for children with myriad behavioral health disorders and the Department of Family and Children’s Services.

Sean has since transitioned into entrepreneurship and as a husband and father of 6, he always tries to instill within his children values and principles that they can stand firm on at life’s crossroads.  As his children grew and continue to grow older, “you know better than that” and “I know I taught you better than that” became constant refrains.  

Here are a few words from Sean that delve into the intentions behind the creation of this organization:

Raising children is no easy task and I pride myself on giving my children principles that they can live by.  Rather than giving in to the pressures of society and peers,I want my children to be able to say, ‘My daddy taught me better!’ when faced with difficult decisions.  When deciding between doing or not doing drugs, I want my children to be able to say ‘My daddy taught me better!’When  deciding between  potentially life altering choices, I want my children to have the fortitude to weigh consequences and not give in to “not looking cool” and simply going along with the crowd.  

Over the years, working and volunteering in communities, I’ve noticed a lack of positive male representation, not only in the local community, but in the overall media as well.  Seeing the names and footage of young people who lost their lives from negative interactions with peers and law enforcement, and the grieving mothers who will never see them again- separate instances that ignited movements across the country- sparked the catalyst for this 10 year desire to make a difference.  I have no intentions to replace fathers in communities, but to have the organization serve as a well of positivity and guidance.  So, “My Daddy Taught Me Better, Inc.” was born.
