In this episode of Freebird, we explore the domain of the well being of men. Long has pop culture and belief systems created a stereotype of how men should be raised and behave in society. Does this enable wholesome societies? What impacts does the emotional and communication bottling up cause for men and thereafter in families and society. There is so much to be navigated and I couldn't imagine doing with with anyone but Reema Ahmad.
