Episode Description

How does race impact polyamorous experiences? Do existing polyamorous discourses erase people from minority ethnic backgrounds? Is being 'out' as non-monog overrated? How can we all grow to be more inclusive of experiences that we don't immediately identify with?

We're joined by founder of Polyamorous While Asian, Michelle Hy, to discuss race, polyamory and politics. We discuss being Asian and non-monog, unhelpful and hurtful stereotypes that can come with this and how Michelle manages this when it arises. We also deep dive into how identities and relationships are ruled by political policy and how to wade through it all to be unapologetically your authentic self.

We thank Michelle for her vulnerability and openness during today's episode. You can find Michelle on Instagram and at her website.

Check out Dolly Chugh's 'The Person You Mean To Be', the book Siobhan talked about in the intro.
