Better Men Podcast

Steven Kitajima

I wanted to create a space where ordinary men can speak their minds and hearts without judgment. Men aren't allowed to express how they feel or think and thus create a generation of men who are unavailable. We need to break this cycle to be better men to ourselves and those around us; we, they deserve it. I'm not here to thrust my beliefs onto you, I'm here to have an open conversation about the direction men are taking now, and what can we do about it. If you want to be a part of this movement, come join me and start some conversations.

Race

Better Men Podcast

06/15/20 • 42 min

Why is this important? There's a lot of civil unrest that's been going on in the country (United States) and we need to continue on the conversation about race. This is something that has been deeply embedded in the United States and with recent events happening of deaths to COVID-19 it's going to be a snowball effect of all of the disparities that are going on now in our society. I would encourage you to self reflect on what's going on in the world and learn from others with an open mind and an open heart. There's a lot of pain out there right now, we need to show some love.
