Being A Black Man In America And Supporting Women's Rights (Roe v. Wade, #MeToo) with Martin Henson, Founder of BMen Foundation
Care More Be Better: A Podcast For Sustainable Social Impact and Regeneration
With Roe v. Wade under imminent threat, it's imperative that we consider what its overturn would mean to marginalized communities and economically constrained people, and how this could even affect progress made with the Black Lives Matter #BLM movement. To have this discussion today, I'm joined by Martin Henson, founder of BMen Foundation. Martin has spent the last ten years advocating for Black lives, addressing the systemic issues that affect Black and marginalized groups through both conventional and unconventional avenues. Martin created BMEN foundation, an organization built to support black men, as an extension of his work.
00:00 Introduction
00:30 Roe v. Wade: Supreme Court's opinion leak and the threat of overturn
06:00 This is not "a women's issue", rather a women's issue that affects every body
07:43 Getting the BMen Foundation started in the midst of #metoo
11:00 Masculinity, consent and how men who have been sexually assaulted react
(Prior Episode Mentioned: A Safer Society: Ending Sexual Violence Through Survivors’ Stories With Tim Mousseau)
14:00 What makes "toxic masculinity" toxic? How do we define it?
17:31 Creating a safe, vulnerable space for people
18:40 What is it like to be Martin Hanson, a black man in America today?
21:30 Traveling for greater perspective into race and racism
24:45 Having "the talk" with your kids about how people perceive black people in America to ensure they don't get in trouble or shot by police because of the color of their skin
31:03 The future of BMen Foundation: Breaking down barriers through conversation and vulnerability
33:15 Martin's closing thoughts - supporting women and leaning in as we handle Roe v. Wade
