Yumi Stynes is a second-gen Japanese-Australian TV and radio presenter. She’s currently the host of Ladies, We Need to Talk, an award-winning podcast that explores all the trickiest topics and taboos about women’s health, including periods, discharge, difficult motherhood, and whether or not your vagina is weird.
Most people know Dr Melissa Kang as the longest-serving expert behind the iconic Dolly Doctor column, but she also practised as a medical doctor for marginalised young people for 30 years. She is now a Professor of Adolescent Health at the University of Sydney. Dr Melissa is fifth-generation Malaysian-Chinese Anglo-Australian, which makes specialising in adolescent sexuality and sexual health all the more interesting. She continues to speak about these topics in the mainstream media.
