Marcus Griggs has worked with youth and families affected by interpersonal violence as an advocate, mentor, and group facilitator since 2001 with the SAFE Alliance and the Man in Me Organization. In his work, he has empowered many to take an active role in healing from their trauma with the hopes of creating healthy families and a safer community. He is, truly, a believer in the tongue having the power to pronounce life and death. Therefore, his aim has been to speak life into the world through coaching, blogging, and podcasting via A Father Heard. When he’s not out in the community, he’s at home with his family. His role as a husband and father is the most precious gift, that he has been given in this life.
