Becoming Wilkinson
When I started this podcast, I thought it would be the story of my journey from married man with three sons, involved in ministry in the NW, to my current life as a gay man in Palm Springs, CA. I'd weave in interesting interviews with amazing people whom I've met along the way. But as the podcast has evolved, I realized that interacting and hearing other people's stories has changed me. The Universe always sends me just the right person at just the right time to guide me along my own journey of "Becoming". Join me as I have conversations with these fascinating people and share this journey with you.

An Interview with Bar Bionic: A Non-Binary Visual and Musical Artist.
An Interview with Bar Bionic: A Non-Binary* Visual and Musical Artist.
Pronouns: They/Their/Them*
Bar and their friend came to visit Palm Springs over the 4th of July holiday weekend and they stayed at my Airbnb. I found Bar's story, look and history to be fascinating. In this interview, we chat about Bar's life in Israel, coming to the USA and landing in New York City where they experienced the brutal "Chew them up and spit them out" mentality found in parts of the entertainment industry. We chat about their various struggles arriving in a large city - not knowing a single person. The creative process, sources of inspiration and gaining a foothold in the social media/entertainment universe are further explored and discussed. Watching some of their videos and spending time over a couple days was a real treat for me! I found their over-the-top creativity, professionalism, kind & gentle spirit (and chutzpah!) to be absolutely amazing. Check out some of their videos via the links below.
*Non-Binary Defined
"Some people don't identify with any gender. Some people's gender changes over time. People whose gender is not male or female use many different terms to describe themselves, with non-binary being one of the most common. Other terms include genderqueer, agender, bigender, and more".
