'If I could go back and talk to my young, little gay self, I think the advice I would give is just to relax,' said chef Jeff Kawakami.
HOLLYWOOD, Calif. -- Jeff Kawakami is a personal chef in Hollywood. He is biracial and gay. His father is Japanese-American, born in an internment camp during World War II, while his mother's family is white and from the Midwest. Kawakami struggles with his identity and"passing" as white while also being proud of his Asian-American roots. He celebrates being proud of himself through the food he makes.
Kawakami came out to his family when he was 17. Although his mother was supportive, it was still not an easy process for him. "Growing up in the 90s, it's something that you hid. It was very shameful," said Kawakami."I grew up very much with the notion of, 'You're gay. You're going to get AIDS. You're gonna die.' The younger generation doesn't have the same shame and fear that my generation grew up with."
Kawakami has also experienced racism within the LGBTQIA+ community, particularly when it comes to dating.
