Gregory Thomas Walker’s “What I Always Meant to Say” Blends Love, Faith, and Life Lessons
14-august-2025 — Parents often struggle to find the right words when guiding their children through life’s most sensitive topics. In What I Always Meant to Say: A Father’s Letters to His Daughters, Gregory Thomas Walker captures those unspoken conversations through a powerful collection of essays designed to inspire, encourage, and guide young adults as they transition into adulthood.
Drawing upon timeless wisdom, Walker weaves together Bible verses, African proverbs, and personal reflections to provide a roadmap for navigating faith, friendships, love, sex, finances, work-life balance, and individual identity. Written with unconditional love and honesty, this book serves as a lasting testament to the values a father wishes to instill in his children.
“As an African American father, I also wanted to address the search for personal identity and what it means to embrace ‘blackness’ in today’s media-driven culture,” Walker explains.
With warmth, depth, and spiritual grounding, What I Always Meant to Say is more than a book of advice—it is a platform for meaningful conversations between parents and their children. Its insights are relevant not only to young adults but also to families seeking connection and guidance.
