🎙️Community Voice: Good girl. Good student. Good daughter.
The kind of “good” that quietly eats you alive.
In this raw, deeply personal episode of Asian Rebel Club, Crystal sits down with Kayla - a mixed-race woman from small-town Missouri navigating disability, betrayal, and survival - and Iris, a Filipina who rejected her family, university, and culture’s expectations by undergoing voluntary sterilization.
From violence disguised as excellence to the silent shame of being “unwanted”, they unpack the real cost of obedience and what it means to reclaim your story.
Expect vulnerability. Fire. And truth bombs that hit hard.
💥 Themes:
- Growing up mixed-race in rural America
- Divorce shame & being used for citizenship
- Choosing not to be a mother in a country where divorce is illegal
