Why YaBaba! Started

Tariq Suliman and his daughter
Tariq Suliman
Founder, YaBaba! Network for Dads

Founding Story

YaBaba! began with a simple belief: Present fathers change lives.

As a dad raising a thoughtful and expressive daughter, I experienced first-hand the impact that an engaged, emotionally present father can have on a child's confidence, wellbeing, and future.

Over the years, through public speaking, community initiatives, media appearances, and meaningful conversations with parents, one idea continued to stand out: dads need to be seen, supported, and celebrated.

To help make that possible, Tariq Suliman created YaBaba! as a platform that celebrates involved fatherhood and strengthens family connections.

500 Dads by Father's Day

By June 21, we're aiming to bring together 500 fathers from across the GCC, MENA, and beyond.

Each approved submission adds another voice to a growing story about fatherhood, family, responsibility, and presence.

Whether you're a new dad, a grandfather, a guardian, or simply proud of the journey you're on, your story can inspire others.
