Artist Ahsante Bean on figuring out her asexuality

Ahsante Bean feels a lot of pressure to create on the Internet, but she struggles to balance posting consistently with having a full-time job. For Bean, YouTube is a space to share her art and connect with people who also identify as asexual. Watch her tell a story about learning to be vulnerable so that others could do the same. “Unfiltered” is a video series from The Lily and The Washington Post that asks YouTubers to share a story their followers haven’t heard before.
