Ep006: Patriarchy Blues with Frederick Joseph

The patriarchy hurts everyone, including men. Does that mean we need a man’s point of view on it?

In this episode, Layla Saad interviews Frederick Joseph, a two-time New York Times bestselling author, the International Literacy Association’s 2021 Children’s & Young Adults’ Book Award recipient, a 2019 Forbes 30 Under 30 list-maker for marketing and advertising, an activist, and philanthropist.

His book, Patriarchy Blues: Reflections On Manhood is a thought-provoking collection of essays, poems, and short reflections, explores issues of masculinity and patriarchy from both a personal and cultural standpoint.

Together they explore:
The importance of being in community and honoring the voices within our communities
The work people of color must engage in to dismantle oppressive systems of power
How to talk to kids about the patriarchy

“When you lead with love within spaces with people you actually do love, it makes way for the accountability to be done in a way where change can happen.”
