We had the good fortune of connecting with Duffe and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Duffe, is your business focused on helping the community? If so, how?
Our vision for Duffe is to debunk and redefine the systems used for understanding the world that are outdated and stagnant; inspire an awakening in others; and sensitize through content creation.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
It’s core stems from the idea that the overall consciousness– on Earth specifically– needed a push in the direction of progress and elevation. And, in order to do so, there needs to be a deconstruction of societies limiting ideals and an introduction to beliefs and concepts that are based in understanding, acceptance and love– yes, love. Once the core was formed, Duffe came to life almost instantly.

Duffe will not be focused on covering Pop Culture 24/7 or following every new trend of the week. Duffe strives to blend the past, present and future in the current moment to emphasize our themes and key values and break out of the pattern that the current media follows. We aspire to tell stories of all sorts of individuals throughout our ever growing history– not just what we know and see in the present day.
We base everything off these core values

Fostering a Healthy Environment
We create diverse environments that range in ideas, experiences and personalities to help individuals learn, grow and heal.
Promoting Love
We encourage others to be able to accept, experience and give love so they can experience happiness as a result. In order to do so, the understanding of oneself, others, experiences, emotions and how they all intertwine is a necessity in the process.
Achieving Peace
We will create peace in one’s inner and outer worlds by normalizing expression and emotion.
Practicing Patience
We will normalize the concept of practicing patience within life and the creative process.
Showing Kindness/Gentleness
We know there is an importance in the ability to express kindness/gentleness and will showcase that this is not the lack of strength but the result of.
Forging a Loyalty to Love
We desire for everyone to understand that love is the easiest way to move about life. It’s forgiving, it’s abundance, it’s trustworthy and it happens innately. We will show ways to forge a loyalty to love through storytelling of those that have lived by it.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
Our definition of “creative” is not exclusive to someone that is primarily involved in the arts but it encompases the idea that creativity is found in all career paths thus making everyone a “creative” of some sort. Duffe has goals of expanding this population to be more applicable to all ages, colors and creeds in the future. We are inspired by those walking in their divine purpose Duffe’s desire to create spaces for others came from watching those who were working, hustling and creating with no clue of the fruits it would bring to future generations. Duffe’s desire to help awaken others sprouted from those who were actively exploring for what they could do to better themselves and help the greater good through the use of talents and passions that were already innately within them.
