The Unspoken Power of Emotions—Why Men, Especially Black Men, Must Reclaim Their Feelings Jor-El
<p>In this conversation, Will Fruin speaks with licensed mental health counselor and author Jor-El about the mental health experiences of Black men, masculinity, and the lasting impact of history, culture, and stereotypes on emotional expression. Jor-El explains how Black men are often expected to be stoic, resilient, and self-contained, while also carrying the pressure of representing their community in public spaces. Together, they explore how those expectations can make it harder to name feelings, ask for help, and develop healthier relationships with self and others.The discussion also touches on the historical roots of these challenges, including slavery, segregation, family separation, and the lingering effects of trauma across generations. Jor-El shares how his work helps clients build emotional language, reconnect with their bodies, and approach their “shadow” with compassion rather than shame. He describes the inspiration behind his books, including <i>Mindful Meditations for Black Men</i> and <i>Self Care for Black Men</i>, and why these messages matter not only to Black men, but to families, partners, and anyone wanting to better understand the inner lives of men.This episode offers a thoughtful, honest look at healing, identity, vulnerability, and the power of creating space for more human conversations about mental health.</p>
