Description

Andy talks to Vica about coming to terms with his race and sexuality, as a mixed race gay man, as well as how microaggressions throughout his life made him self-conscious about his looks and how he overcame that.  

This episode features a Zoom conversation recorded on June 8 - 2 weeks into the black lives matter protests following George Floyd's death at the hands of police in Minneapolis, USA.

Thanks to Jamie Jay and Genia Granville for production and design support, respectively.
