What's an asexual? That this is still a question is the inspiration for Yasmin Benoit's powerful talk. In a world where LGBTQIA acceptance is increasing, asexuals are regularly left off the acronym, out of discussion, and off of media. As an asexual activist and model, Yasmin powerfully argues that equality means asexuals getting representation on our TV and movie screens. Filmed 3/14/21 in London, UK.
