E19: Addressing Toxic Masculinity with Marjorie Grevious

In this episode, SooJin brings in spiritual wellness consultant and restorative yoga teacher Marjorie Grevious to share the wisdom and insights she’s garnered from witnessing how toxic masculine definitions of what it means to be a “man” has robbed the men in her life. She discusses not only how men are complicit in toxic masculinity but also women and offers a powerful alternative to toxic masculinity, as she shares the various ways her and her partner worked to preserve the innocence and goodness of her nephew, as they worked to safeguard the #BlackBoyJoy he was born with. She also points out the responsibility that white people need to play in creating an environment where Black boys are safe and protected.Resources:Restorative Yoga with Marjorie at Yoga [email protected] (Marjorie’s Email for Consultation Requests)Radiant Rest by Tracee Stanley-NewellRestorative Yoga for Race and Ethnic Stress-Based Trauma by Dr. Gail Parker“A Humanist View” Speech delivered in 1975 by Toni Morrison at Portland State University
