Gabrielle Union, Freida Pinto To Adapt Tanisha C. Ford's “Dressed in Dreams” To Series

Deadline has reported that actresses and producers Gabrielle Union and Freida Pinto are teaming to develop a series based on Tanisha C. Ford's 2019 memoir “Dressed in Dreams” at Sony Pictures Television.

In her book, Ford uses fashion as a through-line for time and identity – afros and dashikis, go-go boots and hotpants of the 1960s, hip hop’s baggy jeans and bamboo earrings, and the #BlackLivesMatter-inspired hoodies of today. The symbolic garments also represent her own life, as a Black girl coming of age in a Midwestern rust belt city.
