On May 15th, we finally got the chance to share the film, "The Mask You Live In" with the community! It took months of planning and many sleepless nights, but it was worth it! To be able to bring such a revolutionary topic to the public was priceless.
The discussion centered around our pre-conceived notions on what it means to "Be a man" - and how to balance a healthy sense of masculinity, while giving our boys the skills to be emotionally expressive. Families and teens shared their own experiences on thoughts on ways in which our society can encourage anger and violence as ways for a man to express himself, while discouraging healthy expression of sadness, depression, and other emotions that are often looked at as "weak."
The participation was GREAT and we loved hearing the perspectives of the crowd. Thank you!!
What I loved most about doing this event with someone who is not only my colleague, but my FRIEND, was the FUN we had!
