In this soul stirring single-volume collection of poetic reflections, Omondi Brian Ouma dares to unearth the silent burdens, quiet strengths, and inherited expectations that define and distort the experience of being called a man.

With language both tender and unflinching, these pages trace the outlines of vulnerability, dignity, rage, and grace—edifying what masculinity often hides and what humanity longs to reclaim.

This is a work for those who question, who remember, who resist the easy answers. Whether you are walking toward manhood, away from it, or beside it, What's Like a Man offers not definitions, but doorways.
