    Clowning around with Zozo the Clown

    This week I am sitting down with Aubrey Lee aka Zozo the clown. It was so fun to get to hear about her journey into clowning and how many different ways you can be a clown. It was a pleasure to have her twist some balloons for the studio to bring joy to the space in the dead of winter.  Where to find our guest: https://www.instagram.com/zozotheclownn/Business inquiries: zozotheclownn@gmail.com Support the Pod:  Rate, Review, Subscribe!
