Episode 12: Mike Silva on Authentic Male Friendships

This week, Andy interviews Albuquerque’s Mike Silva about an event coming up on Saturday, the third annual Brotherhood Love Out Loud Social, and about the value of authentic male friendships. Andy and Laura also talk about some of the news, including Gene Grant’s new job as director of the New Mexico Office of African American Affairs. And Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham’s new “Rocky Mountain Gas Roadmap & Implementation Playbook.”But a much cooler playbook — or toolkit — is the 2nd edition of the New Mexico Healthy Masculinities Toolkit. That’s a collaborative project from 17 organizations, ranging from Together for Brothers to Tewa Women United.
