This memoir was a raw, emotional and detailing of his life, which I found both inspiring and very informative.
As a young black woman, to see the journey he took from the segregated South and descriptions of America from the 50s to 90s, was a sadly familiar one.
I also found the ins and outs of the fashion industry both informative and fascinating. An easy 5 star.
