About

Tea Time With Kai is a podcast that interviews people of color and people in the LGBTQ community with the intention of sharing stories that empower, enlighten, and further connect us. Our guests talk about a range of different topics: transitioning, coming out, what it is like to be a POC in this racially charged state, and many other things! Tea Time With Kai is based out of Austin, Texas, and updates biweekly.

Kai Merida is a trans man who was born and raised in the greater Austin area. Following his transition, he has developed a passion for varying stories from the LGBTQ community. He can be seen on his downtime making music, fishing, and spending quality time with his fianceé and pets.

Guests

Our first guest on the show is a good friend of mine, Jeycson, and we talk about a variety of things!

This is Episode 2 of Tea Time with Kai with our special guest and owner of Pound4lb Clothing, Whit Winn. We discuss being a POC in a small, conservative Texas town, struggles being in a queer relationship, and why she decided to stop making music. Please support her by checking out her clothing line! If you can't purchase anything, that's okay - you can still share the page with your friends and family to help get the word out!

In this episode me and my guest Kat Kobane talk about polyamory, woman on woman hate, anime, and more anime! (I finally know the difference between shonen and shojo.) We also discuss her realization story and how she met her wife. As always, viewer discretion is advised. There are some movie/TV spoiler alerts in this episode, so listen at your own risk!
