On this episode of The Masking Tapes, we learn from Oscar Romero, a community organizer and software engineer in Durham, North Carolina. Together, we discuss his experiences breaking social norms, navigating masculinity and immigration status, building male friendships, approaching this world with wonder, and practicing compassion.

Carolina Hidalgo-McCabe, your host, has local, national, and global organizing and programming experience. Her expertise lies in communications, community mobilization, and masculinity studies.
