WE GRWN?
Moyo, Shaun & Jess
Welcome to We Grwn? Video Podcast. WE are Moyo, Shaun and Jess, friends from college who want to hike, but don't! This video podcast is an opportunity for us to get together and document our friendship and our lives, individually and together.
GRWN for us stands for Getting Real (Old), What Now? We hope to unpack what it means for us to be GRWN, how we’ve GRWN through the years, and how our friendship will develop through the constant changes of life.

Also, we hope you enjoy the singing bits we included. We sing every episode but this one we actually included some of it.
