Empowering Dads, Transforming Generations

Launching from the UAE to support fathers everywhere.

About Ya Baba!

Founding Story

Founding

Ya Baba! Network for Dads began with my journey as an active, single father raising a thoughtful and expressive daughter. Through our bond and shared public moments, I witnessed how powerful present fatherhood can be - and how rarely it’s supported or seen.

That realization grew stronger during my involvement in the Swedish Dads x Sudanese Dads exhibition, where I saw how storytelling can shift perceptions.

From that experience, Ya Baba! was created - a platform to uplift, connect, and celebrate fathers everywhere.
