Show Notes
In the fourth Five Questions conversation, a Zimbabwean woman reflects on traditional gender roles, racial identity, and the struggles of the coloured community in Southern Africa. She speaks about the breakdown of masculinity since the 1990s from her perspective, the challenges men face in expressing vulnerability, and how silence often leads to unhealthy coping. From the importance of mentorship and extended family guidance to the need for platforms where men can openly share, she emphasises that masculinity is ultimately a personal journey rooted in moral foundations.
