What It's REALLY Like To Be A Habesha Man In Todays World In this episode, I sit down with Mikias, a psychology student at George Mason University, to talk about what it really feels like to be a Habesha man today.What starts as a conversation about mental health turns into an honest discussion about the pressure to always be strong, where that pressure comes from, and how we’ve learned to hide our emotions.We talk about the expectations placed on us as sons, the silence we carry, and the fear of being seen as weak. Mikias shares his own story of unlearning what it means to be a man, and why vulnerability may be the strength we’ve been avoiding.If you’ve ever felt the pressure to hold everything in — this one’s for you.SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST: https://www.youtube.com/@thebriefdivepodcast/videos?sub_confirmation=1LISTEN ON:SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/2cPd9uVZqjmEmM9VF0zuGg?si=ef2246bd89c34b4APPLE PODCASTS: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-brief-dive/id1551664039ADD ME ON:INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/thebriefdive?igsh=cm5iaWEyazRvMnpySNAPCHAT: https://snapchat.com/t/zzap27fGTIKTOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@thebriefdive?_t=8qIJLtOvM0l&_r=1DISCLAIMER: "The Brief Dive" Podcast represents the opinions of Filimon and his guests who are also not licensed professionals.
