Summary

She altered her body. She lost herself to desire and the gaze of others specifically men. But she fought to reclaim her identity and now, she's telling the truth the world has ignored for too long.

This week, we sit down with author Kaila Yu to unpack beauty, trauma, yellow fever, and what it really means to heal as an Asian woman in a world that loves to label but refuses to listen. This one is raw, revealing, and radically necessary.

🎙️ Press play. Your perspective is about to shift.
