Chapters
1. Nina Shekhar - Part 3 (00:00:00)
2. Do you find that as you explore the vulnerability and expand that the boundary keeps changing and that you become more comfortable? Or do you have a pretty hard stop? Where it just kind of goes, "Okay, no more." (00:00:46)
3. You mentioned "Above the Fray," that you looked at vulnerability and maybe identity too, in a different way, from your other works. How so, if you could articulate that? (00:06:37)
