Hi, I'm Micheal Lee the creator and the writer for the tragic unforgettable story of Dream, I'm Aunt Wanda.
And before the world ever knew her name, I buried my niece.
They called her Dream because she could sing.
I called her that because she survived things most people wouldn't.
This isn't a story about fame.
It's a story about what fame takes.
From New Orleans to Atlanta - salons, studio booths, back seats, bright lights - Dream's life was pulled apart by family secrets, lovers, hustlers, record labels, religion, addiction, and an industry that smiles while it bleeds you dry.
Every volume tells a different truth.
Every chapter exposes another lie.
I watched her rise.
I watched her change.
I watched people love her voice - and ignore her pain.
By the time Dream had everything...
she had already lost herself.
This is her story.
The one they never tell in the documentaries.
- Aunt WandaFame doesn't save you. It just gives your demons a microphone.
