As we count down to our sixth annual Father’s Day family cookout, we wanted to take the time and highlight some of the fathers of the TIL chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Incorporated.
Today, we highlight brothers Derek Jones, Lorenzo Hawkins III and Kimeo Smith
Derek Jones served as the first president of TIL chapter. Becoming a father has been one of the best blessings of my entire life. Brittyn and Cairo make my job easy and I remain thankful that HE has allowed me to be their daddy.
Lorenzo Hawkins III is the chair of our Father’s Day Picnic and serves as the Chaplain of the chapter.. My greatest accomplishment in my life was becoming a father. God has blessed me with beautiful and healthy children who are continuing to grow even into adulthood. I do not take being a father for granted and cherish every minute of it.
Kimeo Smith is the current Treasurer for TIL Chapter. He is a man who leads with both dedication and heart. His two children, Leilani and Henry are his greatest inspiration. He never hesitates to put their needs, and the needs of others, before his own. Kimeo embodies what it means to provide, support, and uplift, both in his family and in our brotherhood.
