The journey began with a challenge from my father Mr. James Early, who looked at me and said "are you going to do it?" and my mother Ida Early who always had faith that while I danced to a different drummer, I would get there in the end. Their love and support continues to define my journey. A tremendous thank you to Dr. Lize Booysen, my chair and cheerleader who offered me guidance and permission to be me, authentically tell my story and to value the journey. She taught me much about life and leadership, human nature, equality and social justice. I am proud to have her as an advisor and exemplar of leading change. I value every interaction we've shared and learned more than I can ever express. Dr. Jon Wergin is owed a profound thanks as well. Our initial conversation convinced me that this program was exactly what I needed. Dr. Wergin's knowledge and humility are astounding. He provided challenges when required, space for different views and opportunities to discover new ways of considering an issue. Dr. Alicia Jackson has been an ardent supporter and sometimes a gentle critic. She is always an exemplar of grace, intellect and has taught me many lessons in integrity, perseverance and commitment. She will always have my gratitude. Dr. Mary Beth Gasman encouraged my research and endeavors. She is a highly respected scholar in this field and her input was invaluable. I remain honored that she was a part of my process.
