a conversation about the fetishization of asian women
Welcome back to another episode of Little Miss.
Today’s guest is author and activist Kaila Yu. Her upcoming memoir, Fetishized, which releases on August 19th reflects on her time as a model and performer in the early 2000s, and offers an unfiltered look at the sexualization and fetishization of Asian women.
In this episode, we explore the line between sexual preference and fetishization, unpack the impact of internalized racism among Asian women in the U.S., and hear from Kaila as she shares lesser-known historical context behind the fetishization of Asian women.
