Benny Harlem is an aspiring model and singer-songwriter, but most importantly, he’s a father to his six year old daughter Jaxyn. He knows that being a good father means a lot more than simply providing a roof over his little girl’s head. It’s also important as a father to do what he can to help instill the following:
- Confidence and strength
- Joy, hope, love
These qualities are important to cultivate because they encourage the child to survive and thrive in the world.
From the beginning, Harlem decided that he would always encourage his daughter to have confidence in herself and embrace her heritage.
‘She’s a beautiful girl who’s gonna be a pretty woman,’ he says ‘But I teach her to love herself first,’ because how a person feels inside is more important than what’s on the surface.
It’s really obvious that Harlem’s doing really well in the parenting department because his daughter appears very confident.

Harlem calls fatherhood ‘a miracle and an honor,’ and plans to keep a close relationship with his daughter for as long as he can.
He takes his role as a father very seriously and has said, ‘I am my daughter’s keeper. The only way for me to protect her is to prepare her for life.’
His daughter already knows that love is all-important. This is a value her father has taught her from the beginning. ‘If she loves herself first, love will align in her friendships, relationships, and all aspects of her life.’
There’s no doubt, that Harlem’s daughter will continue to grow into a strong, confident woman, who is capable of achieving all her dreams and continuing to make her father proud.
This father-daughter duo is an inspiration to all, particularly to parents everywhere.
Their father-daughter bond is palpable and they look like they could take over the world!
