Dr. Simeon Udunka and his sons, “Boyz3+Dad”, are scheduled to make their fifth appearance walking the runway at Neiman-Marcus Children’s Spring Fashion Show at
Willowbend Mall in Plano on March 28. The Boyz3 feature Sime 4 years-old, Isaiah is 2-years-old, and Malachi is one-year-old.

As though owning a successful dental franchise in Cedar Hill is not all-consuming, this Dad seeks to ensure he spends quality time with his three sons. Something he did not have an opportunity to enjoy as a little boy. Simeon was raised from birth by a single mother. He lived in Nigeria all of his life while he and his mother resided in the United States.

During his formative years, Simeon’s mom exposed him to as many sports as she could afford, but unfortunately, weekends spent fishing with his father was never an option. Young Simeon also noticed at the sporting events, often the other boys were with their Dad, and sometimes this caused him to feel left out.

So his mom decided to introduce him to an entirely different world by exposing him to the creative arts through children’s modeling and fashion events. Her goal was to discourage any inner anger issues while building a sense of self- pride and instead encourage him to feel appreciated for himself. Also, it was a world of a different kind of competition, one which Simeon discovered provided him an opportunity to bring happiness and smiles to others.

Simeon and his mother set their future goals for his education. Through hard work and determination, he earned a Bachelor of Science Degree from Xavier University in New Orleans, Louisiana, and a Doctorate of Dental Science Degree from Meharry Medical School/ College of Dentistry in Nashville. Academic and athletic scholarships, gifts, and grants played a significant role in financing his higher education.

Also, Simeon enjoyed relations with great mentors, including his grandfather. Simeon often believes his various childhood activities helped to instill a greater sense of self-confidence. However, it was his grandfather who taught him self-worth.

Now with three sons of his own, Simeon values above all else the quality time he spends with his beautiful wife Chioma and each of their boys and gets to pass on that strong sense of pride as he proudly walks the runway. And just maybe for one brief moment re-capture through Sime, Isaiah, and Malachi his own childhood, only this time it features a Father.

  3. This is a wonderful story about an awesome father. The boys are cute as they can be, and I am sure it is never a dull moment
    at their house. His single Mom did a great job raising him and how wonderful that he acknowledges the role his Grandfather played
    in his life.
