19-August-2025 Parenting doesn’t come with a manual, but in What I Always Meant to Say: A Father’s Letters to His Daughters, Gregory Thomas Walker offers timeless wisdom and heartfelt advice for young adults stepping into independence.
Through a series of letters, Walker addresses the real-life challenges of faith, friendship, love, sex, money management, and identity—subjects that parents often find difficult to discuss. Combining Biblical principles with African proverbs, he creates a framework for understanding life’s complexities while grounding readers in values of resilience, authenticity, and moral clarity.
As an African American father, Walker uniquely explores the meaning of “blackness” in today’s hyper-media culture, encouraging young people to embrace their identity while pursuing purpose and truth.
“What I Always Meant to Say” serves as both a practical guidebook and an emotional legacy a father’s love preserved in words. It not only provides comfort and direction for his daughters but also resonates with any parent or young adult seeking wisdom and encouragement.
