Tired of performing masculinity
Untold stories of contemporary boyhood.
I’m talking to teenagers from a wide variety of backgrounds about everything from friendship and romance to body image and politics.
I’ve always loved interviewing people. Their candidness can be astonishing. Some boys are telling me things they haven’t told anyone else before, and I feel a great responsibility to share their stories in an authentic and respectful way. Many express love and admiration for their parents, something they might not have said out loud to them directly. Others are surprised that anyone is interested in what they have to say at all, and it feels like it’s been a while since anyone has truly listened to them.
