What Did You Have To Give Up To Come Out As A Lesbian? Ft. Kai Mata

In this episode, we'll be sitting down with Kai as we walk down memory lane of our time back in High School, discuss her journey of navigating life and career as a gay Chinese-Indonesian woman, the trials and tribulations of coming out, not only to herself, but especially to her friends and family, and of course, Indonesian politics surrounding LGBTQIA.
