We talk with Aoibheann and her mom Iseult, wranglers for the Youth & Futures space at MozFest
We were feeling a little starstruck during our interview with one of the 2018 European Digital Girls of the Year, Aoibheann and her mom Iseult! In this episode, they give us a sneak preview of the Youth & Futures space at MozFest which is happening this year online, March 7-10. What is Mozfest?
