Shauna interviews author Kaila Yu, whose fascinating and deeply personal debut memoir Fetishized: A Reckoning with Yellow Fever, Feminism, and Beauty was published on August 19th. Kaila, who is also a singer, travel and culture writer and model, discusses everything that led her to writing the book: the terrible lessons of The Little Mermaid (both versions), life as an import model, and experiencing society's stereotypes of Asian women, pervasive in everything from classic Hollywood films to rap music to porn to anime culture. Kaila and Shauna also bond over their youthful soul searching and feminist ideology, and Kaila tells of her career touring the world as the singer for the band Nylon Pink, writing for publications like Rolling Stone, The New York Times, National Geographic and more, as well as her memorable appearance in The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift.
