We’re live! Well, we were… We got to answer some questions about the election for Next Gen Men Pathways.

Donald Trump won the election and Remoy and Samantha try to make sense of it this week. They examine Americans’ concern about the economy and inflation, and get into how consistent disinformation and thwarted public education got us here.

With election season approaching, MASKulinity dives into a surprising new report from The Pew Research Center on how Americans REALLY feel about men and MASKulinity—and the results blew us away. 

Samantha, alongside NGM’s Trevor Mayoh, got the scoop straight from Pew, and now she’s sharing those findings with Remoy. Listen in as they unpack all the discoveries on public attitudes and the deeper roots of the potential predatory politics in America.

This week, Remoy takes us through a throwback episode: Transitioning into Immigrant MASKulinity.
