“Nick was such a huge part of capturing the beauty of our relationship.” - E11even Today we’re seeking discomfort, y'all. In the last episode of Onken Radio, I sat down with my longtime friend E11even to discuss their journey of identity alchemy. They opened up about their recent transition into identifying as nonbinary, all the personal baggage they had to deal with along the way, and how their new identity informs their current and future relationships -- it was a blast! And we had so much to talk about that we’re back with another episode. This time we’re talking about blurring the lines between the muse and the artist. E11even and I have a unique relationship. We've explored beyond friendship, we've created together, and in this episode, we open up about the identity alchemy of our ever-evolving connection. Listen in as Nick and E11even discuss blurring the lines between the muse and the artist, how to be more vulnerable online, and how to make space for creativity.
