184: Youth Empowerment and Positive Masculinity

Haleem Clift, filmmaker, producer and speaker, joins our host Maisie Barlow, to discuss his work with young people. Haleem leads with vulnerability, sharing his lived experiences to engage and empower young people as well as provide a positive male role model for young men. In this thought-provoking conversation, Haleem explores the fine line between motivation, mentorship and coaching, and the importance of his own personal development. He talks about the societal and internal pressures faced by men, the need for male healing spaces in a female-dominated industry, and how having a good male role model can change the trajectory of a young man’s life. Diving into the current cancel culture, Haleem and Maisie explore the impact on young people and how vital it is to empower them to develop strong resilient roots within themselves. 

You will learn:

·       The power of lived experiences and stories in relating to and engaging young people

·       How to support young men in developing a healthy masculinity

·       The impact of the information age and cancel culture on young people

“Let’s not shame men for being men, for having masculine qualities. It is not a bad thing – you just need to channel it in the right way.”
