About the author
The book continues Suzanne Skees‘s social-mission book series is MY JOB: Real People at Work Around the World, a collection of first-person narratives by taxi drivers, midwives, musicians, technologists, and more, across the U.S. and around the world. Skees also works in international development as founder and storyteller of the Skees Family Foundation (skees.org), which supports vocational training and job-creation programs in the U.S. and developing countries.

Skees studied English literature (Boston College) and world religions (Harvard Divinity School) but has learned more from the school of personal mistakes and quiet listening.

Writing for online and print media, Skees travels from schools to slums, prisons to farms, serving as a storyteller for nonprofit workers, social entrepreneurs, and their courageous clients who toil every day to end poverty and create equality.
