Speak More in 2024: The Idea of Manhood

We're (All of us) stepping into 2024 with a renewed sense of purpose.

The Idea of Manhood podcast is making a return! But, it's not just a return; it's a revolution. The theme? You guessed it: Speak more in 2024.

During the "COVID Years," while the world was on pause, I was on play - but in a different mode. I was listening, observing, and absorbing everything around me. As a Black man nearing the end of my doctoral journey, studying with some of the brightest minds, I’ve been attuned to the unspoken, the overlooked, and the nuanced. And now, it's time to take action. It's time for me to share my voice, and it's time for all of us to take up the space we deserve.

So, what's new with "The Idea of Manhood" in 2024? Shorter episodes, more purpose; less apologizing. We're cutting through the noise and getting straight to the heart. These episodes are designed to speak directly to you, my audience. We’re diving into conversations that matter, with the kind of humility, authenticity, certainty, clarity, and confidence that I've been fine-tuning over these past years.

But this isn't just about me speaking more; it's a call to action for all of us. In a world where voices are often silenced or overlooked, it's vital that we assert our presence. We all have unique experiences and perspectives that deserve to be heard, and it's high time we made our voices count. It’s time. It’s time. It’s time.

In reestablishing The Idea of Manhood Podcast I’m embracing the ethos of speaking more in 2024. This podcast is a platform not just for my voice, but for the voices of all who have felt unheard. It's a space where we challenge norms, break stereotypes, and build understanding. Part of what I’ve learned from my research is the importance of validation, and the dangers of isolation.

As we move forward into this year, let's remember the power of our voices. Let's use them to tell our stories, to share our truths, and to stand up for what we believe in. Whether it’s through a podcast, in our communities, or in our daily interactions, our voices are our strength and power.

So, here's to speaking more in 2024. To taking up space. To being unapologetically ourselves. And to the exciting journey that awaits us.

Get ready to tune in, speak up, and be part of this movement.

Peace, Power, Protection, and Purpose in 2024.
