-------------------
Alex was born and raised in the United States and is of Taiwanese and Vietnamese descent. In this conversation, we explore Alex's experiences being both Asian and gay and the challenges those intersecting parts of his identity bring.
He shares his lived experiences being Asian American, why the US isn't really the melting pot that it claims to be, why we need better representation of what being gay means in popular media, and his journey of becoming more comfortable and accepting of his identity.
As always, please share and rate, as well as follow along on Facebook and Instagram! And send me an email notyourtokenminoritypodcast@gmail.com if you want to share your story - I would love to hear from you!
