Book description
A powerful, visually stunning celebration of Black homeownership, featuring inspiring homes and family histories of notable Black Americans--including chef Alexander Smalls and actor Danielle Brooks. "The most important design book of our time."--Stacey Lindsay, design editor, Camille Styles Jeanine Hays and Bryan Mason invite you into the intimate spaces of actors and musicians, the creative studios of artists and curators, the "boss" homes of entrepreneurs and executives, "off-the-beaten-path" homes that defy the stereotypes of urban living, and places filled with pieces handed down from generations past. Tour the creative and culturally infused Washington, DC, rowhouse of author Jason Reynolds. Take in the bursts of color and layers of memory that fill the Harlem Renaissance-inspired interior of renowned chef Alexander Smalls. And get inspired by the design of actor Danielle Brooks and her husband Dennis Gelin's Brooklyn townhome, where Haitian heritage and South Carolina roots meet. Showcasing the amazing diversity of the Black experience through striking interiors, stories of family and community, and histories exploring the obstacles Black homeowners have faced for generations, this groundbreaking book honors the journey, recognizes the struggle, and celebrates the joy that is the Black family home.
