Cultural Activist

http://www.ENinaRothe.com

I am a blogger and journalist who was born in Florence, Italy and grew up in NYC. Writing for me is a form of cultural activism, a way to connect with others and learn about new worlds. My loves are cinema with a conscience and easy to wear fashions because they possess the ability to change the world. You vote with your wallet after all...
