    Feb 26 2026
    This week on The Ana Cruz Show, I’m joined by Dr. Mark Fincher, Associate Professor at Mississippi State University and founder of International Men's Day of Mississippi, to discuss the growing crisis facing young men. Male college enrollment is declining, dropout rates are rising, and the impact goes far beyond education. We explore the link between academic disengagement, depression, substance abuse, suicide, and the broader masculinity crisis shaping today’s youth. This conversation isn’t about choosing men over women — it’s about making sure we don’t leave our boys behind while continuing to fight for equality and opportunity for all. 👇 Join the conversation: What do YOU think is happening to young men today?
