LESSONS OF BEING A MAN AND MASCULINITY

Trevor said that his mom taught him that being a man has nothing to do with making more money, but it’s how you fulfil your role.

He went on to say that he and his mom relied on each other and suddenly he was the man of the house.

“I remember my mom saying to me when I was very young, she said, remember you can be the head of your household as a man without owning a cent more than your woman said you can earn nothing,” he said.

“She said being a man has nothing to do with with how you wield your power in the household. It’s just how you fulfill your role,” he continued.
