Boys Do Cry: Redefining Masculinity

https://medium.com/african-women-rise/boys-do-cry-redefining-masculinity-5c993a6c4744 Discover why true strength lies in vulnerability in my latest article, “Boys Do Cry: Redefining Masculinity.” I challenge the age-old notion that men must hide their emotions, sharing powerful personal stories that expose how the pressure to “man up” often leads to loneliness and mental health struggles. The article calls for a bold redefinition of masculinity that embraces openness and authenticity. I highlight inspiring initiatives in Zimbabwe, Rwanda, and through the African Union that are creating safe spaces for men to express their feelings without judgment. It’s time we build a world where boys and men can cry, heal, and thrive.
