Father Wounds & Black Male Stereotypes with Malose Langa
Thanks for listening if you are joining for the first time, hope you enjoy the conversation and peace and love to you for coming back to listen.
On episode 59 I met with Malose Langa at The University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg to discuss his insights and reflections on working with men and boys. We discuss the impact of father wounds, why many men and boys feel the pressure to perform a certain type of masculinity to either fit in or protect their masciline identity and the perception of black men and boys in society.

Remember to take note of things that stand out to you while listening and take a moment to reflect in your own time or discuss this with some friends over some drinks, a meal or relaxing activity of your choice.
