This book is dedicated to the fourteen men who were gracious enough to lend their thoughts, opinions, experiences, memories, honesty, personal truth, wisdom, and vulnerability. Thank you, gentlemen, for allowing the opportunity to share a space of intimacy with you. Thank you for trusting me with your words, which are a beautiful extension of you.
To my father, Zander Johnson, Sr., who has always known that I possessed the gift of writing persuasively, even when I doubt myself. Father, you inspire me. You advise me. You allow me the space to become my own man while loving and respecting me all the same. This first book is written in your honor, dad. I am grateful to share this accomplishment with you, as you are indeed my superhero.
To my mother, Earline Mitchum. I honestly don’t have the words to adequately describe how I am truly honored to be your son. I relish the thought that I bear the name you chose, a right you were not afforded with any of your other five children. You are one of the most courageous, kind, loving, and compassionate women I know. May you live forever through these pages, because of you, I AM.
To my siblings, the Z-Clan. You guys freaking rock. I’m so proud and honored to be your sibling and to add this work to our family’s dynasty.
