YOUNGMI MAYER (@ymmayer), our goddess, our inspo for this show, our ICON - joins us as the first queer woman on the podcast! The comedian and the wisecrack of TikTok and Twitter chats with us about her new memoir I’m Laughing Because I’m Crying. And digs into why gay men adore her, her bravado as an Asian American from Asia, and the struggle of pretending to like a bad film or TV show solely because Asians made it. When it’s time to get real, we all console each other through our recent turmoils.Buy YoungMi’s memoir here.
