Formerly a journalist Uju has featured across mainstream media, including Good House Keeping, Marie Claire, Good Morning Sunday and Woman’s Hour.Raising Boys Who do Better is a hopeful guide to raising a new generation of boys who are able to embrace their true selves. In other words, boys who are free from the constraints of the ‘Man Box’ and who can be kinder, more compassionate to themselves and others, conscious and accountable. It’s a call to parents, educators and anyone who cares about the boys in their lives and the men they will become. We can all do better.She believes that courage is finding whatever spark there is within you to keep going, even when it’s uncomfortable, even when you’re scared, even when it seems impossible. In many ways, courage is an act of faith.  Thank you do much Uju for your important book inviting us to create a society in which we raise happy, healthy boys who can grow up to be compassionate, resilient men, who can work in partnership with women to create a better world and more healthy planet.You can find out more about Uju’s work on www.babesabouttown.comAnd follow her on Instagram @babesabouttownJoin Lou on LinkedinFollow her @brave_newgirl on Instagram and get her books Brave New Girl- How to be Fearless, FEAR LESS and her Internationally Bestselling book DARE TO SHARE on Amazon or Waterstones or Barnes & Noble.
