Acknowledgments
THANKING GOD for giving me the vision to write this book. If it were not for Him, the book probably would not have been written.
I thank my husband, Corey, for his support for the past 26 years. You have been my rock during everything. I appreciate you. The best is yet to come!
To my children, Courtney and Jordan—my two heartbeats: THANK YOU. You have supported me, encouraged me, and held me accountable. This is for YOU.
To Angela Edwards of Pearly Gates Publishing—the most AMAZING Publisher and Editor: I thank you for your patience and always being accessible to me, no matter the hour. You are a jewel. I am looking forward to working with you on future projects.
To my parents, Karen and Lee Briggs: Thank you for your undying support and encouragement. They are what help me pursue my dreams and goals. Knowing that you have my back and that you support me are what keep me going. I pray I am making you proud.
To Nakia P. Evans: THANK YOU for being YOU. We've only known each other a year, but OMG! It's like we are one. We have so much in common and share some of the same goals and visions. It is refreshing to have a likeminded friend who understands business, passion, and destiny; a person who encourages and supports, and although our brands are similar, there is NO COMPETITION. I love you and am looking forward to making our Beautiful You Authentic You brand internationally known. We have work to do!
To all the parents who purchase this book for their girls: THANK YOU! I pray it blesses them reading it as much as it did me writing it.
