I am forever grateful to my son Darius Duncan Ill for being the best part of me and my motivation to push through it all; you are more than amazing. My eternal gratitude to my parents Kenneth I and Charlotte Starling, my brother Kenneth II and sister-in-law Brittany, and niece Madison for being my pillars throughout this amazing journey, never asking anything in return. To my best friend Brandy Williams, family Charzetta Fleming, Cleotha Gaston and Laura Gray, and close friends Stacy Houston, Lacelia Williams-Hudson, Rosalind Johnson and Tiffany Comeaux, I thank you for your patience and unwavering support despite all the missed calls and events. A special thank you to Dean Vanessa Browne-Barbour, Professor Shelby Moore, Dean Mandi Gibson, Dean Gena Singleton, and Lyndsay Garmond for your staunch guidance, support, and motivation to always strive for greatness, push myself to achieve that which I never thought imaginable, and never settle. 159
