I think I missed #internationalMensDay but I've been thinking a lot lately about male mentorship, not the business kind, but coaching peers and young men on emotional literacy and interpersonal skills.
There's been a lot of talk lately about women not doing #emotionalLabour (valid!) but it leaves a gap, with no history or cultural infrastructure for men to learn and build capacity.
Fellas, hit me with moments of man-on-man emotional mentoring. I know it's out there.

鈽濓笍 OMG this is well timed. Just discovered a show on #CBC called #theAssembly - neurodivergents asking blunt questions of celebrities in a setting where it's ok to be socially awkward. The first episode with Howie Mandel was so much of this male emotional mentorship and vulnerability that we've been talking about.

鈽濓笍 ooo and in a beautiful mirror image of #tonicMasculinity tonight I watched the #lilithFairDocumentary and it is chocked full of #tonicFemininity (if that's a term).
My heart feels so much lighter. Gorgeous music, amazing collaboration, uplifting each other, creating safe spaces to be yourself. A blueprint of a different way to be, regardless of gender.
Good write up from Rolling Stone, and catch the doc if you can, it's a balm for bruised souls.
