NEW YORK

This felt extraordinary at the

time . . . but today I am New

York City Fire Department s

first Black female deputy

chief.

I love my job and feel privileged

to be able to save lives and help

people. It s hard work being

the first on the scene of an

emergency, and sometimes

it can feel a little scary.

WHEN I WAS

lITTLE, MY dREAM

wAs TO becOme A

FiRSt RESpOnDEr.

But the people I work alongside-firefighters, police officers, paramedics, and

many other first responders-inspire me every day. Just like the incredible,

real-life people featured in the pages that follow.

I hope you read this book and feel inspired to follow your dreams, too,

no matter how little you are . . .
