Strong Men Don’t Cry... that’s a lie | Kwasi Oteng

Most men aren’t taught to feel, they’re taught to endure.Kwasi spent years doing exactly that. Pushing it down. Staying strong. Performing toughness because that’s what the world — his teachers, society, even the women around him — seemed to demand. Growing up in an African household as a student athlete, emotions weren’t part of the conversation. Sports were. Strength was. Feelings weren’t.Then October 2024 happened. And for the first time in his life, Kwasi cried.In this episode of Disruptive Silence, we unpack what emotional suppression actually costs and how unprocessed pain quietly becomes misdirected anger, domestic violence, and a life lived disconnected from yourself.This is the conversation nobody had with him growing up. We’re having it now.🎧 Listen, share, and subscribe. Someone in your world needs this.
