Devi welcomes multimedia storyteller and Studio Simone founder Darian Simone Harvin to discuss how her beauty reporting connects to identity, culture, and human-centered storytelling. Darian shares her path from newsroom work and burnout to creating more nuanced beauty journalism that values specificity, empathy, and strong personal standards while avoiding “gotcha” media and telling people what to think. Darian reflects on reconnecting with God, becoming flexible with self-care, and the importance of reducing fixation on celebrity.
