Episode Notes

Because of socialization & systemic barriers, men of color face many challenges, including in relationships & career. In this episode, Drew Georges and Tanuja Ramchal explore why it can be difficult for them to show up and express themselves authentically.

Here's what's covered:

• The external pressures of being a man of color and how that result in self-censorship and blocking real connections with other humans
• Ways in which men of color are socialized to aspire to impossible standards, which limit their perception of career options available to them
• How we overlook abuse, inequality, and injustice when we judge others based on standards of dominant culture
• Why having compassion for people who reject you for expressing yourself authentically is an important step in your liberation
• The privileges men of color have and how they could use them to uplift other marginalized groups
