Writing this e book gave me the chance to mirror alone life — from the nurturing household I used to be privileged to be born into, to working for one of the compelling leaders of our time. This journey has led me by way of exhilarating milestones and devastating setbacks. I’ve walked each with nice satisfaction and in overwhelming disgrace. It is a life I’m — greater than something — enormously grateful for and a narrative I look ahead to sharing.”
