"Busy Is A Four-Letter Word is a revelation. In her approach to supporting effective, efficient, healthy living and leading, Kishshana manages to bring together the best of many worlds. She brings us nostalgia with pop-culture characters we love, but through a fresh lens of reflection. She gives us personal stories that are vulnerable and authentic, accessible and resonant, approachable and real. She gives us validating research and practical applications that move us past words into action. Throughout this worthwhile read, I was tickled pink, seeing red, feeling in true-blue community and accelerated through a green light to make tangible changes in how I approach my life and work. You will be too."
