      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!

      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.
