Healing Toxic Masculinity

"Our responsibility (as men) is to take care of ourselves, to do the self-work. Women are not responsible for the actions of men when it comes to them."

This week on Off The Cuff, we’re joined by Dr. Charles Corprew, developmental psychologist, founder of What’s Your Revolution Consulting, and host of the radio show, “What’s Your Revolution?”

During his tenure at Loyola University New Orleans and while getting his PhD, Dr. Corprew delved deep into researching the development of masculinity. He combines this expertise with his personal experiences, consulting and radio-show hosting to help men find the best possible versions of themselves. In other words, he helps them find their revolution.

Let’s be real, toxic masculinity is prevalent in every culture. But unfortunately the terms “toxic masculinity” and “hypermasculinity” seem to be most heavily associated with BIPOC communities, which is problematic, to say the least.

Because of this Dr. Corprew helps men, specifically men in BIPOC communities, move through the space of their masculinity development. This isn’t to say toxic masculinity isn’t present in BIPOC communities, it certainly is, but it shows up differently in every culture.

Today, we break down what masculinity means to us and how to rebuild healthy masculinity, especially around existing stigmas in POC communities.

So listen up, and let’s talk, Off The Cuff….
