Show Notes

In this inaugural episode, I share why I started this podcast about African masculinity. It began with a moment of reflection while travelling for work, questioning why I felt compelled to leave my family in Kenya to earn a living, and eventually leaving that role to start a family with my partner as the primary breadwinner. This led me down a research path exploring what it means to be an African man in today's world. I explain why I chose podcasting as the medium, my hopes for the journey ahead, and the reactions I've received from family and friends. I'm excited to explore diverse perspectives across Africa's rich cultures, even though I'm nervous about what I might discover about myself along the way. This marks the beginning of a 24-episode exploration into African masculinity, featuring conversations, research, and personal reflection.
