Dedication
This book is dedicated to the memory of my former label mate and author of What the Streets Made Me, Jada Dior. Sis, you were the true meaning of a hustler. You were not only an inspiration to me but also to the entire book industry. I’m so sorry that your time on this earth was cut short. You had so much to offer the world. Even though we never physically met, I loved the fire you had and your passion for being great. That made me want to push even harder in my career. I’m praying for your children and
