Season 3 Episode 2: Natasha Takahashi

“Being me is not a sin” We were so happy to talk to Natasha Takahashi, who attended CAJ from 2006 to 2019. Natasha shares about their experience attending CAJ as a dyslexic, queer person. We chat about how an 8th grade essay prompt to compare Mao and Jesus kickstarted Natasha’s questioning of Christianity, about their decision to leave CAJ and attend UWC in Wales, and their journey towards self-acceptance and self-care. (Note: we recorded this episode last year (July 2021) and had shelved it to finish Season 2) Listen on Apple Podcasts Spotify Stitcher Google Podcasts
