What does it mean to be a man in the modern world?
The tides are shifting. Roles are changing. And emotions and vulnerability are now at the forefront.
Growing up in a machismo-focused household, award-winning author, speaker, and actor Carlos Andrés Gómez speaks his truth to inspire others and society as a whole to break generations of toxic gender norms. Hear his story and his ways of handling his relationships in the most balanced way.
Tune in to this episode: Reimagining Modern Manhood with Carlos Andrés Gómez
Key points covered in this episode:
✔️ Art should be done within a community. Gone are the days of creating in isolation. Meeting new people, receiving feedback, and hearing different stories are what help us grow as artists and individuals.
✔️ Excavate, don’t wrestle. The narrative calls for a more balanced view of gender roles. Be a good example to others so that younger generations can follow.
✔️ Master the dance of knowing each others’ strengths. Your partner could have skills that are out of traditional gender norms or some that they just don’t have the bandwidth to do. Work together to maintain balance.
✔️ Share your story. Speak your truth through your art. Allow your audience to empathize with you. Poetry and other forms of art are an investigation, not a fixed answer to the issues we face today.
✔️ Accept the glimmer of nonconformity. Be open to more nuanced discussions on gender roles and how it affects our authentic expression. Give yourself permission to go against the grain.
