Today’s guest is Clémence Polès.

Clémence is the founder of passerby, an online magazine and community that celebrates the women who pass us by.

Passerby was born from her curiosity about the women she encountered all too briefly while people-watching. Wanting to hear from the people who sat beside her on the subway, from those who served her coffee or passed her on the sidewalk, she set out to broaden the scope of typical media portrayals, asking the women she saw to speak with her.

Hundreds of conversations later, passerby has become a venue for a diversity of perspectives, a driver of creative exchange, and a home for a community of worldwide passersby. passerby pushes against traditional narratives of who is seen and what can be discussed, providing a rare space for reflection on an increasingly busy internet. 

From waitressing to building passerby from the ground up, Clémence independently learned everything from photography to coding in order to bring her vision for Passerby to fruition.

In today’s episode we chat about our upbringings with immigrant parents, developing your craft and learning how to build projects from the ground up, and remembering to celebrate and reflect on your journey along the way.
