E33. The Power of Critique with Journalist Robin Gihvan.

In today’s conversation, Dario sits with fashion editor and Pulitzer prize winning writer Robin Givhan. Robin’s love for the written word and the sound of a sentence is never lost on her readers. She slips in and out of the worlds of fashion, politics, culture, and race with the ease of a classically composed concerto. In a day where facts are fabled, Robin’s essays share truth with intellectual curiosity and compassion.In this episode we explore the wonder of words, the impact of small gestures, and to whom does beauty belong. Spoiler alert: It’s everyone.  Always above the fold, Robin’s journey and work reminds us of the power of aesthetics when laced and layered through culture. We mention.The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison The Battle of Versailles: The night American fashion stubbled into the spotlight and made history  by Robin Givhan The fictional complexity of Omar by Robin Givhan Where to find Robin.Robin Givhan Robin Givhan on TwitterThis conversation was recorded on September 23, 2021.  Original Music composed by Dario Calmese, Show Art by River Wildmen, Social Art by Stéphane Lab, production Carmen D.
