      Dedication

      This book is dedicated to my husband and my children.

      Michael you have ALWAYS been my biggest cheerleader and the greatest supporter of everything that I’ve ever wanted to do. Thank you for believing in me and making me believe that I can do anything. I appreciate the unconditional love you show me, there’s never a day when I don’t feel it. Thank you for always treating me like a queen even when my crown is crooked. Love you!

      My dearest children you are all my best creations ever!!

      De’Andre- for you I refused to be a statistic

      Shayla- for you I grew stronger

      Eric- for you I endured

      Sabria- for you I matured

      Makai-for you I prayed

      Also, to Auntie’s Smeag (Jayden) I will forever miss your goofy grin RIP
