Podcast 085- Abuse and Toxic Masculinity with Carbon “Char” Black

In this fascinating, heartfelt, and passionate podcast, Lee is joined by Char, a men’s, women’s, and father’s rights activist from Arizona. From the gender roles that hold men back from being their authentic selves to the shame involved with sharing abuses they have experienced, career expectations to generational trauma, homeless shelters to making change, there is so much to chew on from Char’s thoughts. Listeners SHOULD BE AWARE that this episode includes frank discussions of domestic abuse against men and genital mutilation. Diverse show notes included as well.
