In this video, I chat with my sibling Annie ‪@jesusismygirlfriend‬ about our dynamics growing up homeschooled in our christian fundamentalist family. We share stories about both our rivalry and our creativity together, how I was parentified, and how Annie rebelled. We also reflect on how our upbringing affected our relationship and how far we've come as individuals and siblings.

Image description: Two siblings are talking with each other on a zoom call. Annie, who is on the left, is white with brown eyes and long, wavy brown hair. They are wearing a grey short-sleeve sweater and sitting in front of a green wall with shelves, a world map, and posters. Elly, who is on the right, is white with brown eyes and straight shoulder-length brown hair. They are wearing a green t-shirt and sitting in front of a plant and some twinkle lights. The background of the zoom call is a picture of a bookcase full of books. There are clips and screenshots throughout the video.
