Rosario is an artist, writer, composer, and programmer of a visual novel series called Parfum Nostalgique.
In this episode, Rosario and I start off by chatting about her Asian studies degree and dissecting some racial stereotypes that are common in America. We go on to chat about making dolls at home and how that's part of the inspiration for some of the visuals that are part of the Parfum Nostalgigue series. Rosario was an open book and shared with me his experience with taking testosterone, getting top surgery, and so much more. This was an extremely educational and fun conversation!
