Rev Sheffield organization, DABO, helps other organizations develop skills, abilities, and resources that will improve and help keep them sustainable in the ever-changing society we live in today. Its main goal is to influence and enrich the lives of Detroiters.

Sheffield Bridge Center Library, wonderful facility, and Jamal Bryant is going to bring the word.”
Mason: (Are) you going to speak. as well?
Sheffield: I’m going to give you closing remarks. Bishop Clarence Bernard Haddon and Joyce Haddon, who baptized me at 20, will be part of the program. My daughter informed me last night. She’s sitting up in the pulpit with us, you know, my daughter preaches. And I told Stephanie to remember that my daughter has to say a word about her daddy tonight.”
