Description

I’m joined by author and incredible multi-hyphenate Kaila Yu, whose new book “Fetishized: A Reckoning with Yellow Fever, Feminism and Beauty” is out now. We chat “that moment” on Love Island USA Season 7, how Asian representation in media has changed since the 00s, and of course a little on Y2K trends.
