In this powerful episode, I sit down with artist, filmmaker and photographer Justice Mukheli, who I’ve followed for over 12 years. Known for his groundbreaking project “I See A Different You” which beautifully reshapes African narratives, Justice shares his transformative journey into fatherhood with his seven-month-old daughter. We explore how this experience has fundamentally changed him as a man and artist, challenging traditional ideas of masculinity and caregiving.
Justice opens up about the reality behind the fantasy of parenthood – from the humbling experience of watching his wife’s pregnancy to the intense mental load of caring for a newborn. He offers candid insights about the privilege of being a man in parenting, the challenges of balancing work with being present, and how his relationship with his daughter has influenced his creative work. His powerful perspective: “Do what feels right for you. Nothing is wrong.”
