Does this remind you of your culture?

In this episode of Accidentally Ethnic, host Paul Eulette sits down with Sage, a Japanese-Filipino artist and drag performer, to discuss the complexities of cultural identity, self-expression, and resilience. Sage opens up about their experiences growing up biracial in Japan, facing bullying for not being considered "pure" Japanese, and how those struggles shaped their journey. Through their artistry, Sage reclaims identity, challenges cultural norms, and creates space for those who exist beyond rigid definitions. This powerful conversation sheds light on the intersection of heritage, queerness, and performance as tools for self-liberation.
