You know Daymond John as a powerhouse entrepreneur as well as a judge on "Shark Tank" and DJ Spinderella as part of the groundbreaking female rap group Salt-N-Peppa, but behind the scenes, they are busy giving back.
The stars were honored on Tuesday with The Sister Accord Leadership Award in Cincinnati, Ohio, for their work mentoring young men and women. The non-profit organization, founded by Sonia Jackson Myles, empowers young women to eradicate bullying and violence. "I cannot believe it is actually eight years that The Sister Accord has been doing such amazing work in the community, and mentoring by example," according to a video of John's acceptance speech. "I truly believe in mentorship, and I am here because of a tribe of mentors. That is what I try to do on Shark Tank and in my personal life."More Related News
