Coping After Coming Out To Your Desi Parents

HAPPY PRIDE: all my life i've been told I'm so manly-suppose to be an insult but as I have grown up and figured out my true identity, I have turned that insult into one of the my most proudest qualities i exude as a south asian queer womxn!

Welcome to the very first episode of Come Out & Shout. Today we'll be diving into the topic of Accepting and importance to accepting yourself!
