My guests Byron and Annett Davis are a dynamic duo when it comes to sports accomplishments, ministry, and mentoring the next generation of athletes, men and women, couples, and their own amazing children.\nThe Davis\u2019s share their individual and collective stories about their journeys to accomplishing the great things they have. They took two radically different journeys along the way. One (Byron) reared in the inner city of East Cleveland and the other (Annett) raised in sunny Southern California. It is the story of resilience and discipline and determination. One lost his father to tragedy. The other raised by a father who was a former NBA basketball player. But their paths crossed and their impact continues to grow as they do life on the same team.\nIn this episode you will hear the impact of being the only African American to participate in a white-dominated sport and the implications of that and you will also hear the power of faith and advice on raising young athletes. Sit back and enjoy this ride with Byron and Annett Davis.\nMy recent interview will air on the Black News Channel can be found on any cable provider as well as streaming on Amazon.
