A HUGE THANK YOU!

What a blessing to have so much love and support at my Harlem, Inc. Book Signing.

Much gratitude to family, friends, supporters too many to mention, who showed up for a beautiful sunny day of fun and togetherness. Thank you to those near and far who continue to inspire, encourage and believe in me.

God bless my sister, Denise (Niecey) and Aunty Vera, for securing the Harlem, Inc. venue. Thank you to owner, Vito Jones, for a beautiful event space.

Love to my son, Kahlil and wife, Momo, for forever being there for me. 

Thanks to Jamel, “my third son” for always lending a helping hand.

Grateful for my brother, Billy “Mr. Apollo” Mitchell, for hosting the event; and my other brothers, Reggie, Steve, Michael, and their families, for ongoing love and support.

A joyful reunion with cousin, Antoinette and Yasmine. Been much too long.

Always encouraging, best friend of 60+ years, Marilyn (Macy), and longtime friends, Cheryl, Connie and sister Jackie.

My cherished Primerica Wolfpack friends: Venus, Deborah, Oscar, Connie, Monica, and Jamel.

Blessed by friend, Monica Sylvester’s dedication of the beautiful Gospel song:

“Somebody Bigger Than You and I”.

Appreciate my creative friends: Darlene Gist for graphic designing, editing and conceptualizing my projects; Pat Blount designed a beautiful necklace and earring ensemble for my outfit; and Syrita Beatty created cool “Got Books?” tee shirts in short notice.

Inspired by Patience, who traveled from Ghana, West Africa, to attend the event; and my New York “Ghana trip” friends, Lynda and Joy,

Thanks to NYS Senator, Cordell Cleare for showing her support; and NYS 9-year-old Poet Laureate, Kayden Hern and his grandmother, Jackie.
