Who Stole Black Boy Joy?

from Roses Are Dead · host Terry Roseland & Jones

We talk through what real joy looks like for grown men and how staying true to our personalities changes our friendships, dating lives, and confidence. •fun vs entertainment and why the difference matters •how rigid masculinity blocks joy, play, and emotional freedom •why some men need alcohol to loosen up and what that costs •the fear of being judged as “sassy” or “lame” in public and in dating •defining fun on your own terms and choosing environments that fit •how the right company can make anywhere feel fun •staying authentic instead of living someone else’s dream All you got to do is download the app, request one of our reps, they’re gonna show up to your location on demand, take your content and you’re gonna get it delivered back the same day.
