Episode Synopsis

In this powerful episode, Irũngũ Houghton, Executive Director of Amnesty International Kenya joins us to unpack what toxic masculinity looks like, and how it shapes the lives of boys and men. From power and relationships to mentorship and emotional honesty, Irũngũ speaks directly to young men navigating a world of narrow gender expectations. His message is clear: “Whatever we inherit in terms of culture, traits, and tradition is never as important and as powerful as the paths we chart ourselves.” This is an invitation to redefine manhood, resist harmful norms, and choose a more liberated way of being.
