In this episode Fonka Mutta Beau-Bernard — journalist, media executive, and community advocate with over 20 years of experience across African and international media explores toxic and healthy masculinities from the perspective of an African man.

Drawing on his reporting on conflict, his leadership in newsrooms, and his work mentoring young journalists, Fonka discusses the role of media in reinforcing or transforming gender norms, and what genuine male allyship can look like today. 🔗 Learn more about the March With Us campaign: https://www.forus-international.org/en/campaign/marchwithus Learn more about Fonka: https://www.linkedin.com/in/beau-bernard-fonka-mutta-30148a58/
