Mask Off: Masculinity Redefined

by JJ Bola

A deep exploration of the themes of masculinity, patriarchy, mental health, feminism and emotions in just over one hundred pages.

It reads like part memoir, part practical guide and all together useful, reflective and insightful. 

I love the hope that this book ignited in me and I want every single man I know to read it. 

“…. The same system that puts men at an advantage in society is essentially the same system that limits them; inhibits their growth and eventually leads to their break down.”

“Often, the weight of patriarchy is ‘heavy, but if you’ve been carrying a weight for so long, you forget what it feels like to be without that weight.”
