“Tag, You’re It” Testimonial

"I briefly met Ayda at a local conference. From the moment I approach her, her smile told me there is something very special about her. My team had already been over to her table and determined that I needed her book "Tag, Your It! Now Raise Us Some Money." I bought it, I read it and I loved it! I've been working on my non-profit for several years and have read many informational books. Most of the books I've read I've skimmed through because they are technical and impersonal. Reading Ayda's book only took a day, because when I picked it up I immediately connected with the writer. Ayda's book has personality, style and an original feel with information I needed but have not read in any other book! Ayda, you are a skilled coach, and it comes out through your writing. Thank you, I wish you much success through this books journey." - Denise Wilkins, Founder, The Justin L. Davis Foundation
