Where Are The Tastemakers Now? Interview With Magalie Rene

This interview is a part of the Where Are The Black Tastemaker's Now? Series. I connected with Magalie Rene about the importance of self care in a time of pain and suffering.. We all need tools protect our mental health to heal, grieve, and focus on strategies to move forward with allies.


 I launched The Moodboard Podcast to continue the discussions around race, culture, and interior design all year long. Listen to a conversation I had with business strategist and author Magalie Rene about the importance of  self care during a time of so much uncertainty.
