Barbershop Talks: Real Conversations, Real Men. 🪒
The Corporate and Family Fun Day continues, with the Barbershop Talks bringing real conversations to the forefront.
Our panel sat down for honest conversations on mental health, SRH and the fight against GBV-F in Namibia.
Raw, real, and long overdue. Here’s how it unfolded:
Dr Bryon Böck opened with a simple truth: mental health is just like physical health; they both need daily work.
It doesn’t automatically mean something is wrong. What we need are safe spaces to finally talk about what’s affecting us.
K-Goodness named what many men know too well: the feeling that their emotions are suppressed.
The answer is healthy communication: challenging the problem, not each other, and remembering you don’t have to resolve it all in one sitting.
Simalumba Nawa went to the root: masculinity has been locked in a box we’re told never to open. But it’s time we opened it, and redefined it.
“Because vulnerability isn’t weakness; it’s strength shared with people you trust who won’t use it against you.”
Gregorius Amadhila spoke on accountability: own the part you’ve played, stay open to feedback.
“We all make mistakes, but we must own up to them.” 🙌🏾
On anger, a participant drew a clear line: anger can be justified, aggression can’t and anger must always have a healthy outlet.
K-Goodness added that emotions aren’t a tool of control, but of guidance. When in doubt, pause, process, pray. 🙏
