Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Dr. John Neal Jr.. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Dr. John , so excited to have you with us today. So much we can chat about, but one of the questions we are most interested in is how you have managed to keep your creativity alive.
I keep my creativity alive by respecting and understanding it is a gift that only a small amount of people are blessed with. I realize that creativity will allow me to express myself through different lenses. Therefore I must be accountable and bring my dreams to life. This gift also allows others to dream through knowing there is someone like them and they are not alone. As long as I am breathing I will always continue to water my own flower and roses and not rely on others to do so. When it comes to creativity, the energy that we draw from in order to enhance our gifts and ability has a boomerang and reciprocal affect. All artists feed off of each other and that is a gift that is priceless.
Thanks for sharing that. So, before we get any further into our conversation, can you tell our readers a bit about yourself and what you’re working on?

The National Association of Honorable Black Fathers – Non Profit Organization
Discovering that a lot of men are in need of support in America and globally, I decided to address this issue head on. What do I mean? Well it is simple, if men are not supported emotionally and psychologically it affects the family unit. As a result of these behaviors and relationships the family unit usually dissolves. This happens more often in the black community. It is believed that nearly 78% of black households are fatherless. What does this mean exactly? Well it affects the mindset of the children, self-esteem, education, confidence and much more. These are a few reason we started our non-profit organization, The National Association of Honorable Black Fathers.
OUR MISSION -The National Association of Honorable Black Fathers aim is to create a safe space and forum in order to uplift our children, families and society. We realize that every action has a reaction, and accountability is a must.

Writer – Director- Producer
With 20 years of experience in film making it is definitely a passion of mine. I enjoy all aspects of the process, writing, character development, storyboards, casting, directing and editing. Realizing there are more steps to the process you probably get the idea. I am fortunate to work with my adopted big brother Grammy award winner and record producer Andrew Lane. Going to his recording studio and watching him work is amazing to say the least. He is currently working on a TV pilot with my daughter and me, “Simply Ayla.” This is a show that the world needs, this comedy is adventurous, heartfelt and inclusive. It should be one for the ages. People are excited about it. Speaking of Ayla the name might sound a bit familiar. Well Ayla Rae Neal is an actor, who starred in “LOL Surprise The Movie” and much more. She is also a singer and song writer who has taken voice lessons from the number one voice coach in the world Cheryl Porter. As a filmmaker I am excited with the projects and collaboration that are currently taking place. If you are reading this article and you want to know more or get involved please contact me.

Upcoming event
Who – The National Associations of Honorable Black Fathers First Annual Event –
What – JUNETEENTH
When – Wednesday June 14, 2023 in Los Angeles CA
Where – Location to be determined
Why – Help support this community event
There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?
The first quality of knowledge is being opened minded. I chose this because I realize in my journey I had to be able to adjust my thinking if I didn’t have all of the information. What I mean by this is that most people go into life with thinking it is going to be easy; however that is furthest from the truth. I began to discover that my concept and perspective was a small part of my journey. Secondly, research, it is very important to research anything that you have a desire for. The reason research is important is because you can learn about the past, apply it to the present and then apply it to the future. There is a saying, learn from other people’s mistakes. Last but not least the third quality of knowledge I believe is having a positive attitude. If you are having a challenging day and you cannot seem to move forward in your goals, your attitude will determine how long it takes to get out of this funk. You will always have challenges when trying to accomplish something hard in this life, sometimes you don’t have a person to talk to because they won’t fully understand your journey. Therefore, your attitude helps you process the challenges you are faced with and you are able to determine what decisions that need to be made in order to move you forward. Having a good attitude can often be the determining factor between failure and success.
If you are early on in your journey, remember you will be faced with obstacles and challenges, but this just means you are on the right track. Hard work pays off but the process should be enjoyed. Good luck on your journey, stay inspired!
Okay, so before we go we always love to ask if you are looking for folks to partner or collaborate with?
I am looking for individuals that want to collaborate with the National Association of Honorable Black Fathers. With your support we are able to change communities and influence lives by providing our young men with communication skills, education, workshops, seminars and job resources, in order to become productive and positive members of society. We welcome donations to support our mission.
I am also looking for individuals, businesses and hedge fund investors to collaborate financially with several film and TV projects that are ready for funding. This will be an opportunity that will prove to be satisfying and lucrative.
