Margaret Cho

This week on Reclaiming, we sit down with the pioneering Margaret Cho, the legendary comedian, actress, and activist who has spent decades breaking barriers and challenging norms. In this candid conversation, Margaret reflects on her journey to becoming an icon for both the Asian and LGBTQ+ communities, the responsibility that comes with visibility, and the power of comedy as a tool for change. She opens up about her lifelong struggles with body image, the evolving conversation around self-acceptance, and how she continues to navigate an industry that hasn’t always embraced diversity. We also dive into her latest special, Psy-Cho, where she fearlessly takes on politics, identity, and the absurdities of modern life with her signature sharp wit. With humor, honesty, and an unshakable sense of self, Margaret reminds us that true freedom comes from owning our stories—flaws, fears, and all.
