\u201cIn Unmasking Manhood, the author points out that, our masculinity is not the question but the function of manhood. According to him, in recognising the difference, an unmasked man will embrace the joy and call to being the generator as well as the sustainer of legacy not only in their family but within the community,\u201d the books\u2019 blurb notes.<\/p>\n

Richard Akita has also said in relation to the book: \u201cMy journey thus far has been enlightening; a culmination of a great marriage to Najate, mentors, heroes, mistakes and self-discovery has prepared me not only as father to my biological children – Marcelle and Ryzard – but granted me the grace to step into fathering the community and be in readiness for grandparenting.\u201d<\/p>\n
