How To Build A Better Boy

We are immensely proud to have been selected as one of 30 global youth platform partners in the launch of an initiative by Chime For Change (founded by Gucci in 2013) and Irregular Labs to explore the role of gender today, and our fluid future of tomorrow. We present this contribution from Kai-Isaiah Jamal, whose words below are both touching and tragic, and serve to reinforce the imminent need for a new conceptualisation of Masculinity. One that includes instead of marginalises, one that protects instead of harms, and one that we can all, regardless of gender, race or religion be proud of.
