During her visit to New York City last week, trans starlet Athena enjoyed an appearance on the “Nikki & Jim” podcast hosted by comedian/actor/broadcaster Jim Norton and his beautiful trans wife Nikki Norton.

“What a wonderful time I had on ‘Nikki & Jim. ‘ It’s so refreshing to meet such a loving and well-adjusted couple! I heard of Jim Norton before, and he was as charming and hilarious as I imagined he’d be, and I feel I made a new friend in his gorgeous, sweet wife, Nikki. This is definitely a must-see show.”

Athena received her very first adult industry nomination, receiving an XMA Creator Awards nomination for Trans Premium Social Media Star of the Year, and fans may vote for her daily here until Tuesday, May 20, 2025. Voting is free.

“This is the greatest thing, my first industry nomination, it’s the best feeling in the world,” says Athena. “It’s been a year since I started officially and it’s been one great adventure. Thank you, XMA for seeing me. It means so much to me! Thank you, to my fans and if they could vote for me and give me my very first win that would be the big, sweet cherry atop of my cake.”
