Joyner stated, “I’m proud of a lot of things we’ve accomplished on the Tom Joyner Morning Show, but I think I’m most proud of all the students we’ve helped stay in school for the last 20 years, and our biggest fundraiser for HBCUs is the Fantastic Voyage cruise. This year our lineup makes it all the more special — Janet Jackson, Charlie Wilson, Maxwell and an endless list of performers!”
