Matt McGorry loves “Man Up”!
“I really appreciate the depth of vulnerability and self-reflection in Carlos’ book. Both around his experiences as a man and specifically as a Latinx man.”—Matt McGorry
What a wonderful surprise to find this glowing 10-part post by actor Matt McGorry yesterday on Instagram championing my memoir, Man Up: Reimagining Modern Manhood.
I’m humbled by and grateful beyond words for his shoutout.
You can read it in its entirety here (with highlighted passages from my book and all):

NBC News profile & recent segment on my collaboration with KYLE
Year two of #SeniorOrientation rolls on! Last year, I collaborated with (recent EGOT winner!) John Legend. This year, my collaborating compadre is none other than rapper and actor Super Duper KYLE.
Last month, during National Bullying Prevention Month, we co-headlined shows at KYLE’s alma mater, Ventura High School, in California and Roosevelt High School in Chicago. NBC News recently profiled my work on the campaign and this fantastic piece just aired about our Roosevelt High School show.
Show with KYLE at Ventura High School
It’s incredible to be an #AXEPartner and stand up in front of the next generation with AXE and KYLE celebrating the importance of accepting others and yourself. #SeniorOrientation #FindYourMagic
