Acknowledgments
I wrote this book during a pandemic and in the same year I had a baby. What's wrong with me? While this is not a choice I would recommend, it forced me to ask for help, build a team, and accomplish things I could not have imagined just a few months earlier.
I couldn't have written this book or survived the process without some very important people. I'm bursting with gratitude for their generosity of wisdom, time, love, and support. I am forever grateful.
Thank you …
Leigh Eisenman, my wonderful agent, who understands me, my work, and my vision and champions me every step of the way.
Dr. Akilah Cadet, my brilliant sensitivity editor and teacher. You helped me create a truly inclusive book and I grew so much in my anti-racism journey along the way.
My incredible editors, Jeanenne Ray, Dawn Kilgore, Sally Baker, Chloé Miller-Bess, Linda Brandon, and the rest of the Wiley team for making me look good and carefully crafting this book into the most digestible and succinct version it can be.
With Linda's expert suggestions and hand-holding, we cut down my 130,000 word manuscript to 70,000 words. This was harder for me than writing the book!
Hilary McClellen, my amazing fact checker. Because of her you can be confident everything in my book is factually correct!
Kristen Veit, for your invaluable insight, research, and help running The Fiscal Femme. I'm so grateful to have you on our team!
Kate Sandoval Box, an amazing editor and friend, for showing me the ropes.
