### A Candid Conversation with Kasey Kei
Multi-award-winning Japanese American adult entertainer and creator Kasey Kei recently appeared on the unfiltered podcast *And Now We Drink*, hosted by Matt Slayer. The episode dives into her unique journey in the adult industry, offering listeners a raw and honest look at her life.
Kasey and Matt chat about everything from handling online hate to the loneliness of sex work. She shares how she turns negative comments into engagement, turning what could be tough moments into opportunities to connect with her audience. It's a real, no-holds-barred discussion that feels more like a conversation between friends than a standard interview.
### Industry Challenges and Personal Identity
The episode covers serious ground, including how sex workers are perceived by society, trans discrimination, and the stigma around alternative professions. Kasey opens up about the difficulty of forming genuine connections when you're in the public eye, especially in a city like Los Angeles where everyone seems to be chasing fame.
"This has been one of my favorite interviews," Kasey says. "It wasn't a bunch of questions, but a nice chat with an industry friend who wanted to get to know me. Although Matt and I come from very different worlds, we had a lot of common ground, and nothing seemed to faze him, which I loved."
