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...

Cinema which does good, for the good of mankind: MediCinema in Cannes

“People look for retreats for themselves, in the country, by the coast, or in the hills . . . There is nowhere that a person can find a more peaceful and trouble-free retreat than in his own mind. . . . So constantly give yourself this retreat, and renew yourself.”
