We are back!!! Happy New Year!
Have you ever witnessed the struggle in a man's eyes as he fights back tears, society's harsh whisper telling him that real men don't cry? In this two-part discussion, we are joined by special guests Obi Onyeigwe (MenEngage Alliance) and Kaycee Uyanwa (Visual Artist) to unpack stereotypes and masculinity.
Drawn from personal stories, reflections, and lessons from the field, they explore the impact of harmful gender norms, whether there is a need to redefine masculinity, and the difference between positive and toxic masculinity. We discuss the transformative effect of positive masculinity on society, stressing the role of men in nurturing environments and challenging the toxic traits that lead to aggression and disconnection.
