On this episode, I had the pleasure of talking with Tereneh Idia, a designer and writer currently based in Pittsburgh, PA. Tereneh attended Drexel University before moving around Washington D.C., Baltimore, and New York City. Tereneh describes these places as once having coffee shops that just sold coffee and donuts, where you could go to a Dominican Chinese restaurant and probably not find a piece of kale anywhere. After much traveling, Tereneh received her Masters in Fashion Design at Kenyatta University in Kenya. She is a 2016 Carol R. Brown Creative Achievement Emerging Artist, which is awarded by The Heinz Endowment and The Pittsburgh Foundation. Tereneh and I had a wonderfully long and meandering conversation and we get into a few podcasts, Tereneh’s thoughts on fashion, and the never-ending story of white supremacy. I thoroughly enjoyed relistening to my conversation with Tereneh as I edited the audio, and I hope you enjoy listening to it just as much as I did!Links Mentioned:Tereneh’s WebsiteIdia Dega TwitterTereneh’s Twitter Tereneh's InstagramPittsburgh City PaperTereneh’s Recent Article on Public SourceDon’t @ Me with Justin SimienTea with Queen and JLatinos Who Lunch - Oscars So Brownbell hooksSister Rosetta TharpBessie SmithOneida Indian NationOlorgesailie MaasaiEons Fashion AntiqueHito SteyerlRachel RoseFollow Seeing Color:Seeing Color WebsiteSubscribe on Apple PodcastsFacebookTwitterInstagram Hosted on Acast.
