POWERFUL REFLECTIONS FROM MARK TILMAN

I am encouraged every time I see a man share how my journey to freedom, inspired them to fight for their own—especially during these unprecedented times! Thank you Mark Tilman for sharing your powerful reflections from #CryLikeAMan, I had to share below!

“So many times I wanted to be the baddest and most macho man in the room, but I’ve learned that there’s real strength in vulnerability. There’s real strength in being who you are without filters. There’s real strength in being the man that you are, and not that man you think you should be.

Society has a way of telling us the way we should be through arts, media, and other avenues. However, don’t fall into the trap of misguided masculinity. Be free, be real, and cry a little if you need to. Stay strong brothers!”
