Latest / Behind the Yellow Curtain with Jess

Tattoos, Bias, Belonging

Jess talks about life as a "cultural nomad" in Japan: the discomfort of answering "where are you from," and the assumptions that come with looking one way and acting another. From tattoos read as intimidating to being told her honesty was "so American," she gets into how she's stopped letting other people's snap judgments define her identity. Personal, unfiltered, and a little feral. Welcome back to Behind the Yellow Curtain.Follow us on Instagram.
