Summary

PERMISSION: The Debauchery Book Release is here!  Limited copies available for pickup at event. square.link  for pickup (attendance does not guarantee you a copy) or bdlink.tbm360.biz after May 3rd. Either way, we are going to dance, drink, converse and love on one another to celebrate this book debut 20 years in the making. 

IT'S HERE! "PERMISSION: The Debauchery Book - 20 years of the Debauchery Ball" is finally here! Editors Khari B. & Jeneca Onikoyi have compiled 20 years of Chicago's most infamous event into an anthology of pictures, essays, educational content and more to give you the sexiest coffee table book of the ages! 

The book includes the soundtrack of original and remixed House cuts, “Debauchery Bangers,” created for the documentary, “Thee Debauchery Ball,” and features 20 years of images by Dr. A.J. Deloney, Akili Images, Anthony Roberson, Austin Patrick, Baramesi Ra, David Weathersby, Don J. Wilson, and Kymon Kyndred, plus essays from noted psychologists, lifestylers and much more. Khari B.’s artistic words are woven throughout to add yet another contextual layer to this already multilayered love letter to the magnificence of the melanated.

In a country quick to propagandize the adverse side of Black people, “PERMISSION” stands as a testament to their beauty and creativity, highlighting how we appear when safe, protected and free of objectification, degradation and fetishization. 

Attend to grab your limited, first edition, signed copies, meet the photographers, people featured in the book participate in the Q & A, drink a little, dance a little, maybe even catch a little poetry. We're gonna have a funky good time sharing the beauty of brown bodies in states of joy.   It's a day party. It's a book release. And because it's a Debauchery event, it's going to be extraordinary!

You may purchase your book HERE for pick up at the May 3rd event. Address available after RSVP. If you are NOT able to make the event, you may join the waitlist to have your copy delivered AFTER May 3rd (within the U.S. - allow two weeks for delivery).
