Ep 186 Kaila Yu on her book Fetishized: Behind the Scenes of Her Journey from Import Car Model to Writer
Description
If you were around pop culture in the early 2000s, you know Kaila Yu's face. She was a young import car model and pin-up girl. In her just-released book, Fetishized, Kaila pulls back the curtain on what it was like to be an Asian model in the 2000s. Her book is raw and revealing, and definitely worth a read.
We recorded this way back in April, as I think I was one of the first podcasters to jump in line to speak with Kaila. It was really fun to chat with her, and I hope you enjoy our conversation. Listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
