Interview with Mo Isu

Inherited host Shaylyn Martos sits down with storyteller Mo Isu, who dove deep into flooding patterns in his home country of Nigeria for Season 3, Episode 3: “Loss is on the Calendar.” Together, they talk about data-driven journalism, Mo’s growth as a writer and producer, and how his story came together.  Mo Isu is a writer and audio producer based in Lagos Nigeria. He covers stories that are human-led and guide people to moments of conflict, vulnerability and hope. He often describes himself as an empathy-driven 'griot,' using storytelling as a tool to drive people to care about someone or something. Much of his work is driven by his interest in making people feel less alone. He is currently freelancing as an audio producer and is interested in stories about society, ethics and culture. You can find him across the internet at @mo_isu_. Inherited is a critically acclaimed climate storytelling show made by, for, and about young people.
