Masculinity is something that can mean so many things, if only we allow the space for a multitude of expressions to coexist.
What comes to mind when you think of "masculinity"? Certain ways to act? Talk? Just simply be? We believe masculinity is a story which can and should be told in more than one way. Masculinity is not something which is done either "right" or "wrong"—it's a unique and individual choice. When we get to write our own stories, the world is a much fuller, more beautiful place.
Jonathon Reed (he/him) is a mentor for many boys and young men. His passion for supporting their mental well-being and working with them to challenge gender-based violence started when he was a boy himself. Jonathon works for Next Gen Men, a nonprofit organization changing the way we see, act, and think about masculinity.
