Andy talks to Vica about coming to terms with his race and sexuality, as a mixed race gay man, as well as how microaggressions throughout his life made him self-conscious about his looks and how he overcame that.
This episode features a Zoom conversation recorded on June 8 - 2 weeks into the black lives matter protests following George Floyd's death at the hands of police in Minneapolis, USA.
