#45 - Logan Rena Interview

In this episode, Miro talks with Logan Rena, fashion design and author. The Logan Design Project was born out of desperation to understand who she was and why she’s here. Logan grew up with a single mom who was an affirmation specialist. Her voice was her qualifier. It wasn’t until she lost her to Stage 4 Breast Cancer that she had to learn how to qualify on her own. Logan merged her love of affirmations and her creativity to affirm who you are through her clothing and accessories. Learning to love and be who you are is a daily project. This is why each of her items remind you of that fact.
