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.
