I’d like to go back and say thank you to the many educators who have influenced my life’s work. This list is in no way complete, but it’s a great start.

Dr. Walter Allen, Dr. Valerie Smith, Dr. Richard Yarborough, Dr. Maureen Silos, Dr. Jenny Sharpe, Dr. Sid Lemelle, Dr. Robert Hill, Dr. T.J. Desch-Obi, Thomas Ennison, Nathan McCall, Baba Medahochi Kofi Zannu, Dr. Kwame Kalimara, SongoEniola Oladeji Kalimara, Elbert Shitamoto. And a special thank you to Khisna Griffin for being the best college counselor ever and to my first West African dance teacher, Nzingha Camara, whose course changed my life.

And a very special thank you to my agent, Brendan Deneen, and my publisher, Dafina/Kensington, for keeping the series going. Thank you for your faith in Drama High. Our novels nourish my children, my audience, and myself. For that I am forever grateful. I feel like I’m living in a dream sometimes because life as a working writer is a divine blessing. Thank you for the sweet reality.
