In-Between: Creating Through Grief | Niki Borger
from The Honest Mic Hosted by Fortune
Niki Borger moved to the US in 2018 to pursue acting. And over the next seven and a half years, she lost all of her parents and grandparents in tragic ways. An almost incomprehensible amount of grief to carry while still trying to build something in a new country. Instead of stopping, she wrote eight plays set in the spaces between life and death. And she found levity, even comedy, inside them. That's not just creative output. That's someone figuring out how to stay alive through the work. Today, Niki is an international writer, actor, and producer. She's the creator of the television sitcom NFTease, currently in pre-production, and the guided meditation app 5-Minute-Meditations. She's also the author of In-Between: eight gender-neutral one-act plays between life and death. In this episode of The Honest Mic, Niki talks about what those years actually looked like, how she kept creating when everything around her was falling away, and what writing In-Between gave her that nothing else could. If you're going through your own hard season and trying to keep building anyway, this conversation is for you.
