Our guest this week is Asifa Lahore, who joins us to speak about her experience of coming out as transgender in the British Asian community and what she's learned over the 10 years since she became the UK's first Muslim Drag Queen. She gives her advice on what brands can do to support young LGBTQ+ people and shouts out the ones who are getting it right.
