Lindsay Peoples and Samira Nasr: Advice to Journalists, The State of Fashion Media, and The Role of Editor-in-Chief
I love facilitating panel discussions and for this season of Pod Noor, we decided to bring that collective energy here. For this week’s episode, I spoke with the two of the most innovative and prominent magazine editors: Lindsay Peoples and Samira Nasr.
Lindsay Peoples is Editor-in-Chief of The Cut Magazine. Also, one of the nation’s rare Black Women Editors-in-Chief. Lindsay was previously the EIC of Teen Vogue, and the youngest EIC of a Conde Nast magazine. Lindsay also co-founded the Black in Fashion Council, which has enlisted the support of the human rights campaign to provide benchmarking around corporate policies and practices that are pertinent to the inclusivity of black employees.
Samira Nasr is the editor in chief of Harpers’ Bazaar Magazine, and the first Black Woman to hold the title. Samira was previously at Vanity Fair, where she served as Executive Fashion Director. In Her own words she is “The proud daughter of a Lebanese father and Trinididadian mother, and her worldview is expansive and anchored in the belief that representation matters.”
I have been in awe of both of these women for years, witnessing up close the way they have broken barriers both in journalism and in fashion; and here it is, on Podcast Noor, that these two powerhouses are in a conversation like this for the FIRST TIME.
Welcome to our first podcast panel!
