Who We Are

Wendi was born and raised in Memphis, Tennessee and moved to New York to attend NYU’s Gallatin School for Individualized Study. At NYU she was a Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Scholar and did a concentration on “legal and cultural studies of oppressed and marginalized people,” which she sometimes abbreviates on her resume as “cross-cultural analysis” as to not confuse employers or the weak of (bleeding) heart. When not globe-trotting or planning her next move, she’s killing time blogging about -ISMs, dancing up a storm, and studying Portuguese.

Wendi Muse was with Racialicious from 2007 to 2009, and is known for her work on race, beauty, and her series The Brazil Files. Now a writer, music afficionado, and everyman sartorial critic living in NYC. She has since moved on to start RetailDJ.
