Honouring Fatherhood with Stoan Seate and Macks Papo on Sip, Paint & Vent with ZoyRenowned actors Stoan Seate and Macks Papo commemorated Father’s Day in style at the recent Sip, Paint & Vent with Zoy gathering, where the conversation delved deeply into the profound role of fatherhood in today’s society.Stoan Seate reflected on fatherhood as an ongoing, daily commitment—more than a title, it is a calling to protect, guide, and nurture. He shared heartfelt insights about safeguarding his daughters from the dangers that lurk within society, highlighting that strength in men must be redefined—not as dominance or aggression, but as resilience, compassion, and responsibility. “It’s a jungle out there,” he remarked, “and we need to teach our young boys how to become men. You can’t shame anyone into being a better version of themselves.” Emphasizing emotional intelligence, he added, “We must instill in our boys the essence of strength—never aggression.”Macks Papo expanded the conversation by speaking on fatherhood beyond the home. As a mentor and paternal figure to many young men in his community, he underscored the importance of presence and guidance. He bravely addressed the uncomfortable truth that some predators exist within our own circles—unreported and often shielded by denial from those closest to them. His message was a powerful reminder of the responsibility adults carry in protecting the vulnerable and fostering safe, accountable spaces.This compelling episode explored the vital significance of a father—or a father figure—in shaping the identity, security, and emotional well-being of a child. It was a powerful tribute to the silent labour and visible strength behind true fatherhood.
