A Modern Pioneer Woman of the Desert | Life at the Still Life Café, Independence CA | Malika Adjaoud

👇 Want to support the journey? Details below
Welcome to part one of my podcast-style conversation with Malika Patron at the Still Life Café in Independence, California. Malika is a modern pioneer of the desert, and we dive into her journey, experiences, and the unique culture of the high desert. In this episode, we explore stories from Darwin, Olancha, Independence and how the desert captured Malika.

This is my first time experimenting with a podcast-style format, combining interviews and vlogs, so come along as we step into the café, share stories, and bring the desert to life. Part two will continue the conversation, so don’t miss the rest of Malika’s inspiring journey.
Whether you’re interested in independent cafés with a World famous Chef, Stories from the Desert or woman pioneers, this video is for you. You can also just listen along as an audio podcast while on the go & it's perfect for multitasking!
