Morea Steinhauer’s interests focus on photojournalism, mentorship, and social activism. She is passionate about working with others on co-created media and social justice projects.

Projects have been facilitated international in Central America and the Caribbean, which have resulted in an exhibitions of images and reflections, a bound book of exhibit contents, and a written independent research paper of the findings published in the Broker based in the Netherlands. Morea is actively engaged within the Fargo/Moorhead community volunteering and participating in a variety of roles.
