Our hAAPI hour guest today Gabby Masuda is a successful model and content creator who's worked for major brands with massive cult followings (Nike Swim, Ritual, Rare Beauty, IPSY, Pinterest). But today, Gabby opens up a previous chapter of her life that most people don't know about—getting married at 23, but knowing deep down that she was queer. Terrified of claiming her queerness in spaces that didn't welcome people like her, it took almost Gabby's entire life to finally admit her hidden identity to those closest to her, but most importantly, herself. But once her mindset shifted, her entire life did as well.
