Customer Reviews
A Real Voice for Our Time
This! Fashion is never just fashion, and this podcast provides a thoughtful voice that cuts through culture and gets to the deep drivers bubbling under the surface. Love how it all comes together with topics I hadn't even considered and connections I wouldn't have thought of, all with a creative eye, realness and a sense of humor. Highly recomended!
BIG facts and Big fun
Andre Leon Talley and Robin Givhan laid the foundation and this lady carries the torch. Black fashion and style journalism at its finest while including the necessary socio-economic and historic factors that influences fashion at every stage and level. You learn and you laugh and she did not come to play. Keep going!
What a mind & voice to match.
I love listening to Nicole’s interviews. She has great questions and perspectives and in addition she has a wonderful voice. I’d listen to her talk about almost anything.
Thanks for doing this show and pleas continue with your purpose... I can’t wait for your book to come out :)
