Kiki and Lia

In this Driftwood Conversations episode, Lia, a homeschooled researcher gathering an oral history of Morongo Basin creatives, and Kiki, a traveler, musician, watercolor lover, and aspiring teacher, offer a glimpse into the lives of teens and local culture today. We discuss self-directed learning, retro music, and surf culture, as well as the impact of social media on attention and confidence. We explore what it truly means to be “best friends” and why documenting this moment in Joshua Tree’s art scene is important. There’s college dreaming, band practice, Swiss chocolate, Argentine meals, and yes… a cameo of favorite desserts.
