Summary

What does it actually mean to be a "real man" these days? In a personal talk packed with actionable advice, youth advocate Davonte Green challenges age-old stereotypes about masculinity, showing that emotional intelligence and self-control — not aggression — are the keys to moving through the world with confidence and strength. After the talk, Modupe reflects on the power of a pause and sitting with your feelings -- even the unpleasant ones like anger -- and how it may reveal more about your deeper emotions.
