S1 Ep17: Tiernen Rice *bonus episode*

Tiernen is one of the founders of the podcast and THE reason why it’s so visually appealing. They are a talented photographer and videographer and excel in both areas. They’ve always had a passion for art, whether that be music, painting, video, photography, or 3D design. When most people were pursuing sports, relationships, or passing Algebra in school, they were behind a computer practicing video editing, photography, and visual effects. They’re also non-binary and believe that it’s very important to let it be known that this is who they are. Their goal is to help make people feel comfortable around non-gender conforming individuals and to help the next generation to know that no matter who you are, what you look like, or what your truth is, you can be successful, happy, and passionate. Tiernen talks with Ashley about their difficult upbringing and coinciding loss of their father. They share how diving into music put a stop to bullying. They told Ashley about their life changing school move and the birth of their daughter while trying to navigate the pressures of senior year. They also dive into the birth of their love for photography & videography and how they made it a career. Tiernen talks about the impact of spiritual trauma and not letting it beat them. They also talk with Ashley about what it’s like living with Bipolar 2, and they share about why it’s so important to them, as a non-binary person, to be a great advocate. We also reaffirmed that their couch parkour skills are on point. Humans of the Glass City, I give you Tiernen Rice. Trigger warning: This episode contains multiple mentions of drug use and suicide.
