t my education and life journey would be focused on helping others in the areas of employment and civil rights, both on the job and in my community. God would bless me by creating an opening for me to work in the White House under four Presidents. The stories that I share are about my experience as the first black person to work in the White House Personnel Office, under four Administrations, which increased my zeal and passion for dedicating my life to improving civil and human rights for all.
