In this episode of The Masking Tapes, Carolina sits down with Sebastián Molano for a powerful conversation about fatherhood, masculinity, and growing up amid violence in Colombia. With over 20 years of experience in international development, diplomacy, and gender equity work, Sebastián brings insight and lived experience to the pod.
Sebastián is the founder of Defying Gender Roles (DGR), an online platform where he explores themes of manhood, caregiving, and the evolving roles of men in society and at home.
“As men, we're irreplaceable at work — that's how we think about it. But the reality is, if you quit your job tomorrow, they'll have 40 CVs for your position in two weeks. If you quit your home today — your partner, your kids — you're irreplaceable there. We have to switch our thinking: we're irreplaceable at home, not at work.”
— Sebastián Molano
