Rebby Onken
Rebby Onken (she/they) is a student, aspiring historian, and avid writer. Her writing has had many phases: she began scribbling away at age twelve but did not start to share her work until she joined a slam poetry team in high school. Their experiences on that team encouraged them to use writing as a way to contend with their own queer, asexual identity as well as the challenging environment around them. Long past slam poetry days now, they nevertheless still use both academic and creative writing to examine their inner world and the worlds of others.
