This moment is asking for men to tap into themselves and lead from within.
Most guys learned to lead by holding it all together.
Push through. Perform. Stay composed.

It’s where honesty, clarity, and integrity begin.

NEWS FLASH:
Only ~ 25% of all Americans are straight, non-Hispanic white men.
For every 1 straight white man, there are ~ 3 other people who are women, people of color, LGBTQ+, or non-white men.
As a minority population, they hold a majority of top leadership roles.
For now.
Happy NO KINGS DAY!

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.
