S1x20 "Courage"

from Reading Michael Jackson Hosted by Reading Michael Jackson

As a meditation and reflection on courage, the 20th piece from Dancing the Dream asks us to reevaluate what we consider courageous in search of something more meaningful. In this analysis of “Courage,” we discuss how the unique challenges of Michael’s life made emotional vulnerability even harder for him than the average person. Touching upon issues of gender, toxic masculinity, and Michael’s lyricism around struggles for intimacy, this episode goes deep into the topic of what it means to be vulnerable. In the episode I reference Brene Brown’s TedTalk “The Power of Vulnerability.” Check it out if it interests you! https://youtu.be/iCvmsMzlF7o?si=rDw8dv_GrslXwS-E
