Following a vibrant journey through the Philippines and Australia, Jamie returned to Japan to pursue a lifelong passion for fashion in the heart of Osaka. As a recent graduate, Jamie joins Owin to reflect on how their time as a student became a transformative space for both creative and personal growth.


In this episode, we explore the beautiful evolution of Jamie’s identity, from their early days in the Philippines to embracing their trans-feminine self in Osaka. Jamie discusses the joy of finding a "chosen family" in a 50-person share house and shares the touching story of their mother’s acceptance—symbolized by a meaningful bouquet of red flowers.


Plus, Jamie gives us a newly graduated student's guide to the lively Tenma district—Osaka’s "chef’s kitchen"—offering a fresh look at the city’s culinary heart. Discover how Jamie’s resilient spirit and love for design are shaping an exciting future in the heart of Kansai.
