Hi, everybody.

Hello, y'all.

Welcome to coming out with Lauren and Nicole.

We are a weekly podcast where we bring on queer folks from all walks of life.

They tell us the tales of how they came out to friends, family, and the world at large.

Because who doesn't love a coming out story?

Y'all, okay, as I, we were saying this off mic before we started recording.

That's what off mic means.

But it's very, it's very exciting for me and Nicole when we release an episode on an actual day,

because we're always sort of like,

hey, National Coming Out Day was four days ago, but we're celebrating enough.

So today, for anyone who does not know, is International Asexuality Day.

If you are listening to this on this episode on the day of release, it's today.

It's happening right now.

And we are absolutely thrilled release. It's today. It's happening right now. And we are absolutely

thrilled to have today's guest. She's someone I've been following on social media for

for such a long time. And I was thrilled when she was down to do this. We are here with

Yasmin Benoit. Hi, Yasmin. How are you? Hey, thanks for having me. Thank you so much for

doing this. Yasmin, for anyone who may not be familiar with her, is an activist model, which is the

best combination of words you can really put together. But she does so much more than that.

She's a writer as well.

We'll talk about the many things she does and the project that she has releasing today.
