Why Boys of Color Have Always Been in Crisis - Jason Rosario

from The Mature Male · host Wes Lambert

Jason Rosario is the founder of The Lives of Men platform, a curriculum developer for the NYC Department of Education, a diversity and inclusion expert, and creator of The Manuscript leadership program for young men and boys.Since 2016, the conversation around masculinity has become a cultural battleground. Men are falling behind by every metric—suicide, unemployment, academic failure, isolation—yet there's resistance to even naming these as problems worth solving. Meanwhile, young men scroll through extremist content from charismatic figures who offer simple answers to complex wounds. Jason Rosario has spent years in the trenches developing actual frameworks that help men develop emotional intelligence without abandoning their masculine identity, including his groundbreaking "Six P's" curriculum that redefines presence, purpose, power, partnership, protection, and play for modern masculinity.Expect to learn why boys of color have been in crisis long before mainstream attention arrived, how the toxic masculinity discourse created an overcorrection that isolated men, what Jason's Six P's framework teaches about healthy masculinity, why our education system fails boys by treating emotional intelligence as optional, how the intention scale helps men identify and regulate emotions in their bodies, what it means to redefine power as agency rather than dominance, why young men are rejecting traditional paths like college and corporate jobs, how Jason's single immigrant mother taught him what it means to be a man, and much more...Get in touch in the comments below or head to...-Website: www.weslambert.me-Email: [email protected]: https://substack.com/@weslambert-Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5Yv1ciX90C3zdPxD67kjyY?si=7591bc0f32da4f23-Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-mature-male/id1805978833
