This episode once again confirmed to me that this is ones of the best podcasts available. Every episode is music and poetry for the mind and for the ear. And, as is the case with this episode, something you are not only entertained but you actually learn a thing or two.

The Memory Palace is always one of my favorites and this one about Anne Lowe was really special. It’s about a pioneering black woman in fashion. Make sure you google images of her dresses, especially Jackie Kennedy’s wedding dress!

“We should know the House of Lowe like we know Dior.” Every time I learn about a woman ahead of her time, undaunted by her society, I am simultaneously happy to meet them and sad for us, collectively. We are worse for not knowing their names. Stories are currency. Legends are legacy. And it’s abo...Show More
