Melissa Carcamo defines present-day machismo, or masculinity, and reflects on its societal impacts on men through her research and personal experiences as a Hispanic person. By identifying what attributes “create a man” she is able to break down how masculinity hurts people, but most importantly how it robs men of living a loving and fulfilling life. Only by creating a new idea of masculinity can we all move toward living our best life.
Melissa is a first-generation Nicaraguan American student at Florida State majoring in Women’s Studies with a minor in Hispanic Marketing and Communications. She has volunteered around the world and was recently awarded the College of Social Science and Public Policy’s Humanitarian of the Year. On campus, she currently holds the position of President of the Central American United Student Association (CAUSA). She is passionate about increasing opportunities for marginalized groups and protesting injustice on and off campus. Her goal is to break the glass ceiling for women and encourage a new Feminist Masculinity.
