Boys Don't Cry: Emotional Silence, Trauma and Masculinity
For generations, boys have been taught to "man up", hide their emotions, and carry their pain in silence. But what happens when trauma goes unspoken? How does emotional silence shape relationships, mental health, violence, and masculinity itself?

🎙️ Featuring:
• Sean Samson – Alcardo Andrews Foundation
