E22 What To Do When You Are Attracted To All Of It with Samantha Moyo

Evolving Door

Samantha Moyo gave me a big warm hug at TEDxEastend in 2013, she had just recently sold Morning Gloryville, a sober raving movement that had grown massively over the previous year or so.

I was delighted to sit down with her for this interview ten years on to discuss her life pre and post-Morning Gloryville. She was born and grew up in Zimbabwe and moved to Derbyshire in the UK at 15 years old to a bit of a culture shock. She talks about her glorious Uni days in Brighton as the perfect place to come out and experience being a young free gay person, attending parties, then organising parties and experimenting with her sexuality, drugs and alcohol.

She moved to London and hit it hard and it all became a bit too much after a while which ultimately led to Morning Gloryville, where young professionals would come to Sam's early morning sober raves before work. It became incredibly popular and spread to cities all over the world.

These days she has found her spiritual side and has trained as an interfaith minister and believes that each of us stepping into our spiritual leadership will help solve many of the world's problems.
