Former Clemson point guard Grayson Marshall was a giver during his career. He is still the Tigers’ all-time leader in assists with 857. Now, after going through his own trials and tribulations, Marshall is assisting once again. Marshall wants to help men who are struggling to cope with the expectations placed up them in today’s society, and he is hosting an event November 17th at Clemson.
Wednesday night, Marshall joined us on SportsTalk to give details of what MANICURE-It Starts With Men is all about.

As a result, many men suffer in silence, experiencing internalized pain and emotional distress. “Healing the Hurt Men Hide” seeks to shed light on these issues and empower men to embrace vulnerability and healthier coping mechanisms.
This event is a dialog of perspective and a platform to empathetically challenge the narratives in today’s world as it relates to the emasculation of men.
