Dr. Amer F. Ahmed holds a rare perspective on masculinity, forged by his Indian Muslim upbringing, plus extensive worldly studies. His brilliance shines as we touch on topics such as masculine social justice, the role of community in initiation, and re-defining the warrior stereotype. We go far beyond identifying the problem, and dive into solution mode. Awareness and education are key, and as a professor and speaker, Amer is the man for the job.
