Hi there, and welcome to Social Dad DC!
I’m Calcie Cooper—husband, father, storyteller, and a proud Brooklyn transplant living in the nation’s capital. If you’ve stumbled upon this blog, you’re likely a fellow parent, a dreamer, or someone who enjoys a good story about navigating life’s twists and turns. Either way, I’m glad you’re here.
Social Dad DC is my space to share the joys, challenges, and lessons I’ve encountered as a father and family man living in Washington, D.C. This city has its own unique rhythm, and balancing fatherhood, marriage, and my passion for building meaningful connections has been an incredible adventure—one I’m excited to share with you.
Here’s what you can expect from Social Dad DC:
• Fatherhood Chronicles: Honest reflections on raising my daughter, navigating her growth, and learning from her as much as she learns from me.
• Family Life in D.C.: Tips, stories, and recommendations on parenting and family-friendly activities in the DMV area.
• Life Lessons & Inspiration: From career pivots to daily affirmations, I’ll share how I strive to live with intention and purpose every day.
• Community Connection: As a former “Social Broker,” I know the value of community. I’ll feature local events, inspiring dads, and ways we can support each other as parents and individuals.
This blog is more than just my story—it’s a place for us to connect and grow together. Whether you’re a new dad (or not) figuring it all out, a seasoned parent with tips to share, or just someone seeking inspiration, I hope you’ll find value in this space.
I’m excited to kick off this journey with you and can’t wait to hear your stories, too. So grab a cup of coffee, make yourself comfortable, and let’s navigate fatherhood, family, and everything in between—together.
Welcome to Social Dad DC. Let’s build something great.
– Calcie Cooper journey.
