Historia
With his now-legendary store on 125th Street in Harlem, Dapper Dan pioneered high-end streetwear in the 1980s, remixing classic luxury-brand logos into his own innovative, glamorous designs. But before he reinvented haute couture, he was a hungry boy with holes in his shoes, a teen who daringly gambled drug dealers out of their money, and a young man in a prison cell who found nourishment in books. In this remarkable memoir, he tells his full story for the first time.

Historia
Today's feminist movement has a glaring blind spot, and paradoxically, it is women. Mainstream feminists rarely talk about meeting basic needs as a feminist issue, argues Mikki Kendall, but food insecurity, access to quality education, safe neighborhoods, a living wage, and medical care are all feminist issues. All too often, however, the focus is not on basic survival for the many, but on increasing privilege for the few. Author Mikki Kendall takes aim at the legitimacy of the modern feminist movement arguing that it has chronically failed to address the needs of all but a few women.

Smith has been writing this history for more than five years. But as a music fan, and then as an essayist, editor (Vibe, Billboard), and podcast host (Black Girl Songbook), she has been living this history since she was a latchkey kid listening to “Midnight Train to Georgia” on the family stereo.

Resumen del Editor
This program is read by the author.
From sneakers to leather jackets, a bold, witty, and deeply personal dive into Black America's closet...
In this highly engaging audiobook, fashionista and pop culture expert Tanisha C. Ford investigates Afros and dashikis, go-go boots, and hotpants of the 60s; hip hop's baggy jeans and bamboo earrings; and the #BlackLivesMatter-inspired hoodies of today.
The history of these garments is deeply intertwined with Ford’s story as a Black girl coming of age in a Midwestern rust belt city. She experimented with the Jheri curl; discovered how wearing the wrong color tennis shoes at the roller rink during the drug and gang wars of the 1980s could get you beaten; and rocked oversized, brightly colored jeans and Timberlands at an elite boarding school where the white upper crust wore conservative wool shift dresses.
Dressed in Dreams is a story of desire, access, conformity, and Black innovation that explains things like the importance of knockoff culture; the role of “ghetto fabulous” full-length furs and colorful leather in the 1990s; how Black girls make magic out of a dollar store t-shirt, rhinestones, and airbrushed paint; and black parents' emphasis on dressing nice. Ford talks about the pain of seeing Black style appropriated by the mainstream fashion industry and fashion’s power, especially in middle America. In this richly evocative narrative, she shares her lifelong fashion revolution - from figuring out her own personal style to discovering what makes Midwestern fashion a real thing too.

Historia
Ziwe made a name for herself by asking guests like Alyssa Milano, Fran Lebowitz, and Chet Hanks direct questions. In Black Friend, she turns her incisive perspective on both herself and the culture at large. Throughout the book, Ziwe combines pop-culture commentary and personal stories that grapple with her own (mis)understanding of identity. From a hilarious case of mistaken identity via a jumbotron to a terrifying fight-or-flight encounter in the woods, Ziwe raises difficult questions for comedic relief.

I loved everything about this book and how it transported me to the memories of my high school and college years. The author perfectly described fashion and how it made me feel growing up. I completely identified with her experiences even down to having a cop as a parent and her first trip to NY. This is a great book.

Awesome
Tanisha's book was a genuine love story about fashion, hair, all types of relationships, and young girls from "little known" cities who are "bigger" people than they've ever imagined. What a creative tale. Well done!

Unwinding a Life -
As I listened to Dressed in Dreams, memories resurfaced of my life growing up in Chicago. Decades earlier, I had experiences that warrant a beautiful novel, such as this.
It is only now that I understand the experiences of my daughter, now 45, experienced as a Black girl being pulled from California to live in Chicago. Finding her place and growing along side our fifteen year age gap.

Nostalgic AF
This book was soooo dope! it spoke to my own journey through adolescence and figuring out the politics behind certain looks and articles of clothing. It's a snapshot of a generation. She spoke to my inner Bgirl and all the angst I had about being black and female in this world. Relatable and easy listening. Loved hearing the author's story in her own words.

Bomb!!!!!
I felt such a void with only having male and NYC perspective documentary of the fashion. Grated it was still very exciting to read and watch on tv but I am a woman and there were elements of identification that were not made available to me. But TANISHAAAAAA!!!! You did it with this one, I felt every emotion and turned down every corner, saw every picture on the wall and breathed in every aroma described! Thank you for leaving it all on the paper with this one!!! What an amazing chronicle on the many dimensions on black womanhood with an eye for expression in fashion!!!! This is a must read!
XOXO

Excellent
I thoroughly enjoyed this book...the writing style, narration, and the symbolism of fashion as it related to decades and culture. Fantastic!

Dressed in Dreams
This book was a bit boring, and I can’t shake how superficial some chapters felt. I still don’t know who the author is as a person, what her career aspirations are, what kind of mother she is, etc. The subjects/topics of the chapters felt familiar, but also very fleeting. I was waiting for Tanisha to dig deeper into her blackness and femininity (and possible queerness??),but most content stayed on the surface level.
