Because I Saw You Do It First: Why Representation Matters
A personal, heart-on-the-sleeve reflection on why visibility isn’t vanity—it’s healing. From growing up as a queer, Korean-born transracial adoptee with no mirrors to follow, to choosing daily to become that mirror for someone else, Theo unpacks the power of being seen, the courage of showing up authentically, and the living legacy we create when we dare to take up space. Pour a cup, settle in, and remember: your presence might be the permission someone else has been waiting for.
Welcome back to Theo's coffee table where the coffee is always on and warm.
