"This book is pure magic. I think it’s important for all, no matter what has happened to us in our past, to be able to define our own narrative. The Water Dancer is a powerful lesson about no matter how dark our history is, we can still see the light."

"As one of the most powerful black voices in the fashion industry—an industry rife with racism—I found André’s journey on how he overcame all of the prejudices in a system designed to exclude him, so inspiring. I was captivated by his singular voice and left in awe of his tenacity. I consider it an honor to call him a colleague and friend."

"Let’s face it, we’re all guilty at some point in our lives of caring too much about what others think of us. This is a book that will empower you. It contains sage advice at a time when we’re all caught up with external validation."

"I’ve read this book several times and it is the perfect Summer read for me, especially for a “Quarantine Summer.” I try to read a chapter a day, because I find it helps me keep everything in perspective as the world is struggling right now. It helps me find the silver lining and gratitude on even the most difficult of days."
