The Portrayal of Asian Women in Media (ft. Kaila Yu, Fetishized)

Today, Kaila Yu, author of the memoir Fetishized joins us to explore how Asian women are portrayed in the media. We discuss the impact of books like Memoirs of a Geisha and raunch culture from the 2000s, and talk about how much of the media we consume is internalized as women. We chat about how to ground ourselves in self-love instead of seeking validation externally. Find Kaila on Instagram @ kailayu or on her website kailayu.com . Her book, Fetishized: A Reckoning with Yellow Fever, Feminism, and Beauty will be out in all stores on August 19th! Support the show
