Manny (he/him) and Lucho (he/him) are son and father, and it’s the first time they enter {THE AND} space ever. They’ve always been very close, yet there are multiple topics they don’t exactly agree on because of the different ways they were both raised. Lucho, being a Mexican immigrant parent, thinks vulnerability is something you cannot show; while Manny thinks taking care of your own mental health is very important.
Parents share a little bit of wisdom with their kids about what they’d advice them to do about different topics: dating, feelings, and life in general.
An ode to all dads out there who are trying their best to exercise paternity in a loving, caring and fulfilling way. We see you, we appreciate you. As we explore new perspectives we invite you to step into the emotional space of connection and experience the deeper lessons that shared experiences can afford humanity. To everyone who has participated openly and vulnerably in our project - we appreciate what you have shared with us and hope others do as well.
