ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Special thank you to my family for their support through every twist and turn of my many careers. Gothrie, Mae, Sheri, and Michael, I love you dearly!

Tony Rahsaan and Lynne Filderman, from the moment I said I’m opening the doors of The Cavu Group, you both said I’m in! Thank you!

Tony Rahsaan deserves an extra thanks for also creating the graphics in the book, social media content, and working on the book cover with the publisher. He’s the only one who gets away with calling me and simply saying, NO, that doesn’t work!

Stanley Desbas, thanks for the photo shoot that is now being used as my promo.

Anne Hegeman, thanks for your publishing insights and for your unwavering friendship throughout the years.

Becca Lee, thank you for allowing me to use your poem in the book. I hope that nobody ever feels they need to apologize for their space at home or at work.

To all the participants who took the time to fill out the questionnaire, I am forever grateful for your time and honesty. Thanks to those who called, texted, and emailed stories to add to the book.

To all of my friends who supported me through the writing of the book, and for those of you who had special jobs during the writing of the book, you deserve an extra thank you. I cannot name you all, but please know I appreciate all of my friendships, champions, advocates, and allies!

Dwayne Andrews, my unofficial-official attorney, thank you for jumping in and always ensuring that I do more than check the boxes when it comes to my business deals.

To The Cavu Group Council, thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Finally, Jim at Maven Press, for saying “I didn’t think about you being black.” You had something to say about a topic that needs to be discussed. Thank you!
