Sexuality is something that is not often talked about in the Asian American community. We grow up very sheltered and everything is very black or white in terms of what is allowed and accepted.. However as we get older, we learn that the spectrum of attraction, gender, sexuality runs so much deeper than what we’ve been taught.
This week, we are so excited to have our dear friend, Kenson Lee, open up and talk honestly about his journ...

Our instinct became to fight back, either with our parents or within ourselves.
This week, we share the family trauma we’ve experienced and how that has shaped us throughou...
