This Thursday we're getting reLIT with a throwback to one of our favorite shows from season one!
📖 Dapper Dan: Made in Harlem: A Memoir.
A streetwise hustler grows up during America’s fight against drugs, poverty, and civility. He takes the lessons he’s learned and marries them to the philosophies and ideologies he picks up as an avid reader. With this knowledge, and after two trips to Africa, which inspired his path, he begins working on his life’s biggest hustle. He’s all in, but will his underground lifestyle take him OUT for good?
The hustler’s name is Daniel Day.
The book is Dapper Dan: Made in Harlem.
LET’S GET LIT! See you Thursday!
