In this episode of All I Know, you'll meet Francis. Francis immigrated to the United States from the Phillipines in his childhood, and walks us through his experience coming to the U.S. He also shares how other events from his growing up years have shaped the path of his life, from falling in love with fashion, to being gay, and wrestling the demons he "inherited" from his childhood.
