Kaila Yu, author of the newly released book Fetishized, joins us to discuss the fetishization of Asian Women in the Western Media. We cover the 2000s as problematic,  Memoirs of a Geisha, how stereotypes affect mental health, dating, and building up your self-esteem after being fetishized, the nuance of sexualization, and more. We also nibble on being a foodie, LA restaurants, Emily Ratajkowski, Sabrina Carpenter, the empathy crisis, menopause, not being honest about plastic surgery, etc.
