From the

time studios, this is Asian enough.

Each week on this podcast, we talk to one

Asian American celebrity about the joys, the complications, and everything else that comes

along with being Asian American.

I'm Jen Yamato.

We'll also talk about what it was like to run for office as a gay Asian man in the 90s and the conversations

he had with his parents before deciding to run. So let's get started.
