Episode 18 : Morena Duwe
“Finding your passion is such an intimidating demand. Passion is such a strong word. I like the idea of curiosity. Everyone has curiosities. It’s such a simple, natural feeling to be curious.”
Morena Duwe is a writer and journalist. She’s written for publications such as LA Weekly, SF Weekly, OC Weekly, Mix Mag, DJ Mag, Huffington Post, and UpRoxx. Her partner, Miles, is a photographer and for the past couple of years, they’ve had the privilege to travel the world covering music festivals as a team. On this episode we talk about how journalism is changing, how to find your voice, and what it looks like to make the hard choices and follow your own unique path.
