ACNOWLEDGMENTS

First I would like to thank, my best friend who helped me edit this book and gave me the idea to include children’s pictures to the book which was the perfect idea towards my biggest concern in society. His valuable insights played a critical role in the content and completion of the book. Without him none of the completion would have been possible.

I would also like to thank each an every person in the media industry that has played a vital role in the inspiration I have been exposed to by your entertainment that I have learned from.

My parents and their good friends deserve more of my thanks for availing themselves to all the questions they would answer openly with the aim to teach me the ways of life.

Thank you my good friends Bertha, Chantell, Sonia Pretorious and Sonia Adams who gave me comfort with the word of God knowing that that is the only advice that gets me up again from my low moments.

Finally, to those people in my life who have so skillfully used the game of power to manipulate torture and cause me pain over the years. I bear you no grudges and thank you for supplying me with inspiration to solve most problems I and others encountered.
