my loving, compassionate, and Christian mother who taught me how to be a decent, God fearing and compassionate individual. To someone who also taught me how to stick to my dreams and to never be afraid to dedicate my life to others in need. I will forever cherish my mother, her wisdom, and her incredible strength of motherhood and womanhood. I’m most proud to honor the legacy of our mother and the life lessons she taught us which continues to live in us everyday. This book is for you, Mama.
