Martin Luther King Jr. once said: “Everybody can be great...because anybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.”
This week's First in Future guest is Chris Suggs, the founder of the non-profit Kinston Teens.
