On Father’s Day (June 15), we reached out on our social media channel (@womanthismonth) to shine a spotlight on the men who matter the most.
We asked our followers to nominate the special fathers and celebrate their positive influence on our lives. The most meaningful father figures often show up in the most unexpected ways. They’re the ones who teach us life skills we didn’t know we needed, offer wisdom at just the right moment and love us through every phase of our journey. They show up not because they have to, but because they want to. Let’s meet a few of our special heroes!
For the Father of my Boys, Aaron:
You show up – every single day. Whether it’s spending time with the boys, running to practice, or just being present when it matters most, our sons are growing up with a solid example of what it means to lead with consistency, patience and quiet confidence. You don’t ask for credit, but you deserve it. From bedtime chats to weekend outings, you give them more than just time – you give them you. Fatherhood looks good on you – not because it’s easy, but because you live it fully. Thank you for being their steady, and mine.
Happy Father’s Day,

If I was to describe my father, Valter Piergiovanni in three words, I would say he is kind because he is nice to everyone. Another word to describe him would be hard worker because he has always done his hardest and best to make us happy and give us a good life. One more word would be caring because he cares about us and people and he will always do his best to show it.
His best qualities is his ability to do whatever it takes to show his care for people. He will always try his best in everything and ensure we are happy and that’s his way of caring and it’s his best quality.
I want to be a chef like him in the future because he inspired me to want to become a chef. He got me into cooking and it’s something I see myself doing well at. I feel like I’ll become successful like him if I become a chef.
I wish him in the future whatever it is that makes him happy to happen and I wish him good health.
Happy Father’s Day,
Francesco and Luca Piergiovanni
One trait we truly admire and picked up from our dad, Pierric Dubois, is his composed, cool-headed nature. No matter how chaotic things got, whether it was drama, crisis or a tough decision, he always managed to stay grounded and think objectively.
Over time, we realised that this quality became one of the most powerful tools in our own skillset, both in daily life and especially at work.
Not only is he an incredible father, but he is a talented man, a great son, brother and husband.
His greatest trait is how he lives life to the fullest. He deserves everything in life and wears his heart on his sleeve, which is noticeable after having a single conversation with him.
Happy Father’s Day,
Abel & Lèa Dubois
I love my Apa, Hussain Alkhabbaz, because he plays with me a lot, we do sports together and he reads for me. He is strong and kind and always there for me. I miss him a lot but when he is with me we have a lot of fun.
Happy Father’s Day,

My dearest husband, Vinayak Kulkarni, is a beautiful soul inside and out.
Being a corporate mother and content creator is no easy task. From boardrooms to reels, housework to homework with our twins, each day is a whirlwind of responsibilities. Yet he stands beside me with love, patience and teamwork.
He never shies away from nappies or school projects. With grace and unwavering support, he redefines what true marriage means. His empathy allows me to pursue my dreams, knowing our home and hearts are safe.
Thank you for being my rock, my calm in chaos ad a role model to our children.
Happy Father’s Day,
Rozene Nunes
