In Memory of Raven
For Black Business Month. In honor of the entrepreneurs and creators in Black book publishing. And in memory of my friend Raven, whose many gifts included writing. I’m holding her book Padre , which is about the time she spent in Côte d’Ivoire as a Peace Corps volunteer.

In her hands is a paperback copy of Padre, by Raven Moore.
