The #NotAllMen conversation often triggers defensiveness before it triggers reflection. But this weekend, sitting in a room at Everyman with men who were genuinely curious about their own complicity, something shifted. We talked about the nuances of misogyny, about the men who cause harm — not as strangers, but as our fathers, mates, and role models. We talked about what it means to step into accountability without shame, and why connection must come before compliance. The grassroots work is raw and often invisible. The gap between policy and lived experience is real. This is a reflection on what it looks like when men choose to stay in the room.

This is my personal reflection on navigating these difficult days, written to help me stay grounded and positive as we process what happened on our beach, in our city, in our country.
