Bros Before Egos

10/01/2022

Hey ya'll,

A year ago I embarked on a journey to create a safe space for men to talk. It is an initiative birthed from the realisation that such spaces are few or non existent. It is my hope that through talking we can start to address the issues that affect us.

On the 10th of January 2021, season one of Bros Before Egos premiered right here on facebook. Since then, we have had two seasons where we explored masculinity and relationships. Over 20 men shared their views and experiences.

During this time, I have met some amazing young and mature men. Our support group has grown and in the process I have learnt a lot from them and about myself.

The past year has brought it's own challenges in addition to the covid-19 pandemic. Personally, I have experienced losses, struggles with my mental health and even covid-19 itself.

However, I have learnt that having supportive spaces like Bros Before Egos are helpful to men. I have had brothers from the support group reach out to me. I have reached out to others as well. As a result, we get to have support, and a safe place we can share without being judged.

I am thankful for this safe space and the community I have found. We aim build a bigger community of men working earnestly towards become better versions of ourselves.

Moving forward, our podcast will return. We will continue to expand Bros Before Egos into a social movement. And do look out for Bros Before Egos Merchandise coming soon.

If you are interested in joining our support group just drop us a message. If you are interested in getting involved, message us as well.

I wish you all a productive 2022. Let us get talking, so we can unlearn, relearn and heal together.
