In this heartfelt episode, Cal Campos chats about growing up feeling like their queerness and Filipino heritage didn’t mix, and reclaiming both identities as they grew up. Cal delves into the impact of religion, family dynamics and the societal pressures that shaped their early life and queerness. This conversation covers the complex relationship with Cal’s Filipino heritage, the journey to forgiving their parents, queer intersectionality and self-acceptance. Tune in for an inspiring conversation on overcoming obstacles and embracing one’s true self.
