The Invisible Ache: A Conversation with Courtney B. Vance, Dr Robin L. Smith, & Devin Michael Lowe

In this episode, we spoke with Courtney B. Vance, Dr. Robin L. Smith, and Devin Michael Lowe. We dive deep into a powerful conversation about Black masculinity, mental health, and vulnerability. We discussed how masculinity is often defined by lies and emotional repression, leading to long-term struggles with vulnerability. Throughout the discussion, we explored the importance of creating safe spaces where Black men can reconnect with their full humanity—embracing both their pain and their joy. It was an eye-opening and transformative conversation, and I’m excited for you to hear it.
