The Authors

Anita is a geek.
Outside of work, Anita loves to play tennis, singing in her church choir, volunteering as a tutor, and at Reading Partners, a national nonprofit that mobilizes communities to provide students with individualized reading support they need to read at grade level by fourth grade. Anita's stretch goal is to run a half-marathon, having done several but not managed to run the entire distance. She is also an avid reader and aspiring writer that hopes to attend a writer's workshop one day.

The 'star' in the picture is yours truly, Adoba James Adoba. I'm known around these parts as Prince, on account of my Dad (in the red cap) being the Chief. I'm the only boy and the youngest of the bunch, the bunch being me and five older sisters. Trust me, that does not get anywhere near the mileage it should. I have a bachelors degree in Agriculture and looking to turn that into gainful employment soon. Until then I help look after my Dad and play football. A lot. 

I'm the favorite sister. I hate drawing attention to myself so this author section will be extremely short. I'm a wife and a mother and I'm obsessed with tidying stuff. It drives my family nuts.

I'm known as the banker. For a pretty good reason. I manage money: yours, mine, everyone's. I'm also the one that looked most like Iyefu. Folk frequently mistook us, and my daughter, Melanie, was often thought to be hers as she looks so much like me - us.
