02. Jamie Nonis on Growing up Gay in a Conservative Asian Society
Description
Hey guys!
In this episode, I open up about how I first discovered I was gay and what it was like growing up in a conservative Asian society, and feeling like I was different and didn’t belong as a young person finding my place in this world.
I talk about my fears of being ostracised by friends and society, and feeling like I had to hide my true identity.
I also touch on my struggles with self-acceptance, as well as coming out to family and navigating family dynamics.
I have to admit, it really wasn’t easy feeling like such a “wrongness” in society for so much of my life, and I’m really grateful that I’ve come out on the other side and I’m able to be here today to share this with you.
This episode is kinda interesting 'cos I’m the one in the hot seat for a change, being interviewed instead, by my cousin Stacey Nonis.
Hope you enjoy the show :)
