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.

In this episode, we discussed our brief hiatus due to mental challenges that arise from the global pandemic that we all find ourselves in. We address our new initiatives for the upcoming season and expand on what the mission statement intends to communicate. We look forward to season two of the Deconstructing Male Fragility Podcast!
