Description: The Kardashians are in the business of “getting us talking”— also known as the business of being famous. How have they impacted our society + culture? Has it been a net positive or net negative? And is that ‘power’ waning? Writer and cultural critic, Kimberly Nicole Foster joins the podcast to break it all down with me. We discuss many aspects— race, gender, greed, parenting, business, hair + makeup + fashion trends. We discuss: Why she believes the cultural power of the Kardashians is waning  The impact the Kardashian’s have had on the beauty industry Why she thinks Kim and Khloe are now trying to slim down after years of embracing their curves. Why she thinks the Kardashians tried to appeal to Black men - and why that’s changing now.  How white Americans and Black Americans view the idea of the Kardashians getting us to embrace our curves differently Why the Kardashians are a representation of American culture and where it is going.  Her thoughts on how Kim is using her children to expand her brand and keep herself in the culture zeitgeist. The problem with the mentality of always needing more, more, more.
