In this episode, Keith, Selena and Glen introduces themselves and the Podcast. We discuss how this podcast came about, who and what inspired it, and bodies of work that has helped all of us become aware of these issues and/or label our experiences. Initiated by Selena and her two thoughtful questions, we have a conversation about the effects of 'male bonding' and the impact it has in many environments.

Introducing Deconstructing Male Fragility

We aim for this podcast to be a step towards deconstructing male fragility and masculinity. In other words, our aim is to use this platform to create conversations that focus upon the issues Black women face in America with hopes to disabuse ourselves (Keith and Glen) and other men of the fallacies we possess and act off of everyday. To refrain from simply speaking for Black women, every week we invite a Black woman to speak on her journey and life experiences, and with her, having honest conversations hoping that this kind of discourse will transcend this platform and continue to be held in environments where it is needed. We imagine this to be a space where one is being honest with their interlocutors when engaging in discourse, but more importantly, honest with themselves when engaging in everyday life activities/events. While this is a learning process, more importantly it is a process of unlearning what we have been taught throughout our educational journey.
