DEDICATION

This book is dedicated to all the Diamonds who have found their shine and those who are still uncovering it.

Special thanks to some amazing diamonds: Jordan for always seeing the beauty in everything and for being my photographer, Jennifer for always being encouraging and a ray of sunshine, Jermaine and Johnathan for being awesome men of God who are always willing to assist and step up when needed. In addition, I thank my mom, Gloria Hawkins Plain, for showing me the true meaning of courage and faithfulness.

Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

Matthew 5:16
