The barbershop where men go to heal – Matt Brown TED Talk
It’s important for men to have safe spaces that they can be vulnerable with each other. This enables them to breakdown rigid gender stereotypes like “men have to be stoic and not show emotion” and create supportive and positive friendships. Matt Brown talks about how he helped to create these spaces for men in his community to “take off their masks”, and the importance of men taking responsibility for doing it themselves and not expecting women to do it for them.
