I would like to thank my advisor, Dr Keona Jones, for her continued support and guidance as I pursue the completion of my dissertation. Thank you to my cohort of other Doctorate of Education students at Alverno. Your commitment to studying with me, encouraging me, and allowing me to do the same for you is exactly what I need. I would also like to thank my past students and co-workers of the Impact Movement, who have helped shape the person I am and are the reason for my research interest. Lastly, I would like to thank my family and friends for their support and prayers. For taking my calls and convincing me to keep going. Thank you!
