Stand-up comedian (and accidental inventor of the #dropchallenge) Atsuko Okatsuka joins Jameela this week to discuss growing up with a mother who had an intense and undiagnosed mental illness, her experience as an undocumented immigrant in Los Angeles, reconnecting with her father after being separated for years, having her grandma be her best friend, all the wild things she was taught about sex growing up, and more.
