Sit back for a masterclass in empathy from one of the biggest advocates for kindness, love and positive masculinity. Watch along as Nikhil talks about his childhood, youth, the conditioning he received as a man and how he managed to break free from the toxic shackles of masculine tropes and stereotypes.
