Hi, I’m Omar, the founder and CEO of Kinnect. This is one of my "From Omar" reflections, a space where I share real thoughts on family, relationships, and what it means to build something meaningful. It’s personal, sometimes messy, but always honest.
My dad’s probably never going to read this. And that’s okay.
He’s Puerto Rican, not my biological father, but he’s the man who raised me from the moment I was born. If you know him, you’d know he’s not big on words — but he’s big on action. That's why he's not my step-dad, but my dad.
He’s the guy who showed up.
He’d be at every one of my sports games, driving me and my siblings wherever we needed to be. He didn’t just drop us off. He stayed. He watched. He was there. We call him Pi (pronounced like the number, P-I), and I think that’s fitting. He’s constant, steady, and present.
If there’s one thing I learned from him, it’s that love doesn’t always need words. Sometimes love is shown in the everyday actions — picking you up after practice, fixing something in the house without being asked, or making sure you’re fed before he eats.
The kind of person who won’t use this app for a while
Kinnect is a private, invite-only platform built for exactly this. The Echo feature sends your family one question every 24 hours. Everyone answers in their own time, in their own voice, building a permanent record day by day. Kin Groups keep everything private — only the people you invite can see what your family shares. Start free at kinnect.club.
