Leadership Legacy

Acknowledgements

Writing this book has been like Vipassanā meditation, method acting, and what I imagine giving birth feels like: intense, embodied, unrelenting, and liberating!

To my chosen and extended family: love is love, plain and simple.

To Zayna B, thank you for creating and holding space for me to realise that I am my ‘primary partner’. It was that realisation that led me to begin to remember how to be effortlessly me.

To Annie Knight, my commissioning editor. Thank you for investing in me and creating space to express my voice in a medium that scared me.

To Alexandra Papadakis. Thank you for your eyes, your words, and your wisdom.

Thanks to my accountability sisters, Olivia (Liv) Sibony and Tanja Gihr. For reminding me to take one step at a time.

Thank you to the interviewees whose stories and insights are scattered across this book. I appreciate your time, your wisdom and dedication.

To Sunnye Collins, my developmental editor. I appreciate your patience, your guidance, and for seeing me and being gentle while firm, as I became braver with using my voice.

To Mar, Stella, and Lady. Thank you.

Thanks to Meg Arthurs, Charlotte Heppell-Joyce and the team at Manton Executives for creating moments of silence for my neurodivergent brain.

To Galith Chriqui, thank you for your gentle encouragement that helped me reach the finish line.

Thank you to the many people who contributed to the GoFundMe for my podcast Whispers, Echoes, Tomorrow, which became this book's foundation. ...
