Acknowledgments
My queen, Sheri Gaskins: For supporting my dreams from day one. She saw something in me that I didn't see in myself. She put up with my crazy ideas, my long nights of work, and the non-stop grind. I'm so grateful for her love and support!
My sons, Tony Gaskins III and Tayden Gaskins: For motivating Daddy to dream bigger and prepare a better future for them. For allowing Daddy to work hard at random times of the day. For always understanding when Daddy has to hop on another plane. You guys are my pride and joy, and I'm doing this all for you!
My mom, Cathy Gaskins: For always speaking positivity over my life. You were the first one who praised my gift of writing, and you never stopped telling me that I should be making a living from my words. I thank you for that!
My dad, Tony Gaskins Sr.: For sacrificing your dreams to work 9 to 5, so I could have a better life. You paved the way for me, and I know my gifts are in me because of you.
My sister, Latesha Gaskins: For supporting and believing in me. Second to mom, you were my first fan and my biggest fan. You promoted me before I had anything to promote, and I thank you for that.
My nieces and nephew: I love you guys, and you are a part of my motivation to keep going!
Wesley Barnett: For being a great friend and helping me get things in order from day one. You always keep it real with me, and I can always count on your insight. Without your help and support this wouldn't be possible.
