About this episode

This Wednesday, we’re joined by Omar (@9amtmayasket) for a much-needed convo on masculinity and the silent pressures men face to perform it perfectly. From emotional repression and mental health to fashion, individuality, and being the “odd one out,” we’re unpacking what happens when you don’t fit the mold—and how even your style can lead people to question your character, or your faith. All this and more in this week’s episode!
