He will be joined by Standing Tough Against Rape president Tom Swider to discuss redefining masculinity and human connection.

Baldoni has authored two books on the subject: Man Enough (2001) chronicles his own relationship with masculinity and Boys Will Be Human (2022) helps male readers through self-esteem building and embracing their feelings.

Audience members will be able to ask questions after the talk, a release said.

Tickets to the in-person event cost $19, with virtual access tickets costing $24. Each ticket type includes a copy of one of Baldoni’s books. Buy tickets here.

The event is a collaborative partnership between SafeHouse Center of Washtenaw County, Literati Bookstore, Phi Iota Alpha Latino Fraternity, Panhellenic Peer Educators and Zeta Omega Eta Sorority.
