SUMMARY:Unpacking the Roles of South Asian Men (Men Only Event)
DESCRIPTION:Dec Topic: Unpacking the Roles of South Asian Men\nSouth Asian 
 men often grow up taught to provide\, protect\, and lead—roles rooted in
  love but often tied to pressure and silence. This men-only Chalo Baatein 
 Karen session opens space to talk about the expectations that define “be
 ing a man\,” the difficulty of showing vulnerability\, and how those rol
 es evolve through different stages of life—from creating an identity\, r
 aising families\, through navigating retirement and aging.\n\nGet To Know
