Ep. 2 | Men Have Feelings, Too

This week, we are joined by J.Mix's dear theatre friend and black podcast brotha, Lawrence Weber Jr., as they explore the depths of male self-consciousness and body positivity. Lawrence dives into the nitty-gritty of his personal experiences growing up as a black queer male in today's society, and offers insight on how we, as self-aware individuals, can work towards deescalating the toxic masculinity stigma and encourage more "judgment-free zones" for men to express their emotions. 
Some things discussed: "Man up" mentality, Body image woes, Self-consciousness in the Church, Performance anxiety, Lack of support for black male dancers, Self love, and so much more!
