100 honest conversations with men about how they feel

Curator - Kwame Asiedu

Hi Everyone! My name is Kwame Asiedu and I am a writer, project manager and a trainee sex and relationships coach with Somatica Institute. I believe in the power of the relationships we have with ourselves, because that is connected to how we be with others.

Why All The Feels (ATF)?

Growing up, I did not hear men express their feelings and as an adult I’ve always struggled to talk to men about their feelings. The result, when confronted with heavy feelings i can go silent, go into ‘mental storms’ where thoughts cycle around, and withdraw from the world. Ultimately I’m struggling to express myself. But If you met me you would have no idea.

So I’m on a mission to speak to 100 men honestly around the world, about how they feel on the topic of relationships.

I want to showcase men around the world finding strength in sharing our feelings for ourselves, others and our collective mental health.

Honest conversations encouraging

men to truly feel

Men, why do we struggle to express our feelings?

• Ideas of masculinity?
  

• Pressure to be strong?
  

• Homophobia?
  

• Childhood experiences?
  

• Fear of losing control?
  

Expression lives here
