Special thanks to my two sweet baby girls for not just allowing me the time to write but encouraging me along the way.
To my mother, I love you so much. Thank you for everything, and strive to be half the woman you are.
To my best chicas Michelle Symone and Amanda Lauzier, I would not have started this journey if you two hadn’t been there to hold my hand. Thank you both and I love you.
Aunt Mel, thank you for always being in my corner. I think you are one of my biggest fans! Love you!
