Today on Double Teamed, Cami and Niki welcome Leanne Yau, the founder of Poly Philia, now the largest social media platform dedicated to non-monogamy awareness in Europe. Leanne’s work is influenced by her own experiences as a Gen Z bisexual and Chinese non-binary woman, and she hopes to bring visibility and representation to these intersectional identities. 

 

Personally, we love Polyphiliablog for all of the knowledge she shares on terms and definitions within non-monogamy and polyamory. So, let’s discuss those! But also, let’s dive into the hottest shows that portray, explain, narrate, and very shortly show non-monogamous relationships. Some are good, some so-so, and some are just totally wrong...
