Zoom with Mari & Marc Ngotonie: "The Becoming Man‪"‬ Your Mind Matters Too!

    • Mental Health

On this episode of Zoom with Mari, I had the pleasure of speaking with Marc Ngotonie, talented self-taught events and portrait photographer based in Tanzania. With a career spanning back to 2015, Marc initially focused on capturing the magic of weddings and corporate events. However, his artistic journey took an exciting turn as he delved into photographing live music performances, including the renowned Sauti za Busara, a pan-African music festival held annually in Zanzibar.

His unwavering passion for using photography as a powerful storytelling medium sets Marc apart. Through his lens, he skillfully allows his subjects to take centre stage, enabling their stories to come alive in vivid detail. With a keen eye for capturing raw emotions and authentic moments, Marc's photographs serve as windows into captivating narratives.

In this episode, we dive deep into a thought-provoking discussion on masculinity and mental health, exploring the significance of creating safe spaces for men to connect with each other. Marc brings his unique perspective as a photographer, shedding light on the challenges men face in navigating societal expectations and the impact it can have on their mental well-being. We explore the transformative power of vulnerability and the importance of fostering supportive environments that encourage men to open up and seek help when needed.

Join us for this inspiring conversation as we uncover the complexities of masculinity, the journey of personal growth, and the role that mental health plays in shaping the lives of men. Through Marc's insightful experiences and thoughtful reflections, you'll gain a fresh perspective and a deeper understanding of the intersection between masculinity, mental health, and the quest for authentic connection.

Tune in to this enlightening episode of Zoom with Mari and be prepared to embark on a transformative journey of self-discovery and empowerment.
