 nd jail. Mr. Suggs credits his faith as the means for turning his life aro

  coach. Mr. Suggs has won numerous service awards\, and he continues to be
  a role model in the community.\n\nMichael Joyner was raised in the Del Ra

 ent on to work for The United Way of America and Black Entertainment Telev

 ainment industry. He has won several awards\, including the Sony Innovator
 s Award\, an Emmy Award\, and 2 NAACP Image Awards. Mr. Joyner  is a volun
