Lessons from writing about the cultural insensitivities of Queer Eye Japan Yellow Glitter

This past week, I published an article addressing the cultural insensitivities of Queer Eye Japan. Lots of learnings and also four key lessons to share with you.
 
In this episode, we cover:
Feedback from the show
Following Western advice all of my life as a queer Asian man
Why Western ideologies don’t work for Asians
Embracing the edits
Doubting myself before publishing the article
Why all of our intersections and identities matter
Why it’s important to focus on the good
