Kaepernick also runs a publishing company, Kaepernick Publishing. Per his Instagram story, Kaepernick Publishing is releasing the graphic memoir “Dear Dad”.

Per the kaepernickpublishing.com, the book was written by Jay Patton about her life growing up with an incarcerated parent:

As far back as nine-year-old Jay Jay Patton can remember, her dad, Antoine has been in prison. Growing up in Buffalo, New York with her mom and younger brother, she’s only been to visit him twice. Instead, the two have sent each other numerous letters — Jay Jay’s letters can take weeks or months to reach her dad, and some never even get delivered. What’s it going to be like having Dad home?

The book has an interesting point of view that isn’t discussed much in the mainstream media.

Kaepernick has a heart for helping independent content creators publish their content.  He recently started an AI venture to help content creators.
