S2, E7: The Construction of Black Masculinity & Reflections

In this episode I discuss The Construction of Black Masculinity and reflect on how my interest in exploring Black Masculinity led to the creation of this podcast, and the content that's created on Rethinking Manhood.

Here are some of the sources that have helped shape this conversation! (And some additional articles to check out!)
