In this episode, we interview Nicole LaRue. We talk about her art and graphic design, being in an queer abusive relationship (and the contrast of that with her relationship with her wife now), and dealing with an eating disorder.
Nicole LaRue was born in Berkeley, California. After earning her BFA from Brigham Young University, her own adventures took her across the world from South Korea to Japan, to the Oregon coast and places even farther. She currently lives and works in Salt Lake City, Utah. Both a graphic designer and illustrator, LaRue is widely known for her iconic work on the Women's March on Washington logo. She is the author, designer and illustrator of a number of books including Girl Almighty and Small & Mighty, interactive activist journals for kids. She has, most recently, collaborated with human rights lawyer, Kate Kelly on a book titled Ordinary Equality, a brilliantly graphic story of the women and queer people of the ERA.

Alice Abrams (she/her)

Her art work reflects her religious convictions and insights, as well as her insights and feelings about parenthood.

Alice recently came out as Bi-sexual and Bi-romantic on her Instagram account (https://www.instagram.com/aliceisms_illustration/), and shares some of her experiences with coming out to her community of friends online. When she isn't busy carving or painting, she is trying to keep up with her lively daughters and dog with her husband.
