Hello and welcome to another episode of Not Too Deep on Your Host Grace Hallbig.

Very excited to have Chelleman on today's episode.

If you don't know him, get ready to know someone that's going to blow your mind.

He is an artist and activist and now an author.

His book Continuum is out.

It's all about his journey to self-acceptance through his death transgender,

genderqueer Jewish and Chinese identities.

He has been through quite an experience and he shares it so eloquently with me and with all of us.

I am so inspired by how gorgeous this human being is.

We talk about the anxieties of putting your art on display and how he turned cochlear implants

into stunning high-end jewelry.

Hear all about it on this episode of Not Too Deep with Chelleman.

Okay Chella, I am so excited that you are here.

For guests that I have that are so multifaceted that are that wear a lot of hats.

I like to ask them how do you describe yourself and the work that you do?

I know, a very easy question to start with.

Yes, so I mean I describe myself as my name Chelleman.

My pronouns are to hear him.

I am first and foremost artist.

I also identify as deaf, transmasculine, genderqueer Jewish and Chinese.

I would also say just a very curious individual.

I like that very much.
