Engaging Boys and Men for Healthy Masculinities and Gender Justice

The Men’s Story Project is a replicable storytelling and dialogue project that brings critical exploration of social ideas about masculinity into public forums around the world - through men's less-often-heard voices and stories.

In the MSP, boys, men, and folks who identify with maleness in any way publicly share personal stories that aim to help transform social ideas about masculinity - so as to support healthy masculinities and social justice for all people. The MSP is rooted in an anti-racist, intersectional feminist framework.

"This is the type of spark we need to catalyze a movement. I would love to see this project replicated in every city and town across the world... Shifting norms surrounding masculinity is crucial to ending the cycle of violence."

"It's time for men to be able to publicly express their humanity - for everyone's healing. It enriches our society to have something like this happening...
And, it's about time."

 The Men’s Story Project does something truly revolutionary: it allows men a space free of judgment and relentless gender policing, a place where they can finally tell their own stories in an unvarnished way. Enabling men to shed the “manly pose” and expose that “timid heart” may be among the most liberatory experiences of a man’s life. Beyond that, the Project promises even more: that once freed, men will continue to seek and speak their truths, joining with women and other men, to effect a transformation of the meaning of masculinity.”

You caught me off guard with how potent that was. I felt deeply moved in tears and laughter quaking through my body, but also impacted and altered enough to propel me into more action in my life… I have no doubt this will be an extremely successful project throughout the globe.”

It was SO awesome. It felt totally real, authentic, gripping, valuable and new… I can imagine it easily replicating, with equally (yet different!) great groups putting it on all over the damn place. Inspired idea, brilliantly executed. Really powerful to witness.”

– Audience Member

To gather with a group of diverse men to publicly explore masculinity and vulnerably share our stories that generally don’t fit into the bandwidth of accepted male expression was nerve-wracking, exhilarating, liberating and hopeful…It was liberating to speak to a common experience that is an unspoken reality for most men.”
