Dedication

I dedicate this project to my lovely biological mother, Rugiatu Bangura. Although we did not have a long time together, I can still cherish those moments in the cosmic planes.

I also dedicate this to the Vision Fellowship 2024-25 Cohort! Thank you everyone for your insights, love, and excitement for this project!

I also want to shout out the mastermind behind this entire fellowship, Ashlee Priestley! Thank you for putting your trust in me!

I want to shout out my Vision Fellowship Mentor, Althea Wasow, for giving me all the tips and honestly being my cheerleader during the duration of this project.

Finally, I want to give a shout out to myself for finally allowing my dreams to become reality.
