Transcript
One year into African Men Speak, this is me reflecting on the journey so far. I look back on how I approached the work, what I actually did, what changed for me, and why the project is moving more slowly — and more deliberately — than I first imagined.
In this monologue:
- Why I resisted a single authoritative voice
- What slowed the project down (and why that matters)
- What I underestimated about African masculinities, research access, and scale
- Why restraint matters more than output at this stage
African Men Speak is a long-form project exploring African masculinities through conversations, short street interviews, reading, and reflection — centred on plurality, accountability, and lived experience.
This work needs time — and I’m finally okay with that.

African Men Speak
The African Masculinities Project is committed to fostering understanding through dialogue, research, and community engagement. We explore the many ways masculinity is lived and expressed across Africa.
