Media, Culture, and Why we feel like crying so much

In this episode, we have a conversation with Kaila Yu, author of the book Fetishized: A Reckoning with Yellow Fever, Feminism, and Beauty.

We discuss how representation in media impacts what and how we think about ourselves and others, how she came to share her story through this book, and other current events.

You can buy her book here.
