Rockford art promotor Deion Suggs is today’s guest. He’s the mastermind behind Black Bag Money Promotions.

Behind this label Suggs operates as a DJ and a promoter of other artists who have talent but no one to sponsor them.

In today’s conversation, Suggs shares how growing up in the foster care system in Chicago, Durand and Aurora - and living the street life - gave him the gift of bringing people together to make their surroundings a more beautiful place.

Deion Suggs will host an art showcase called, “Local Talent Matters: Volume 2” on May 18 at Loft Ten 19 in Rockford. For more information contact Suggs on Instagram at @black_bag_money_promotions_ent.

At the end of the show Suggs takes us out with a special spoken word performance called, “These Are My Thoughts.”
