Despite sexual assault from both family members and friends, physical attacks that left her handicapped, and a lifelong lack of support from her extended family, Dr. Chanel Suggs persevered to become a cybersecurity expert, teacher, and the author of Against All Odds: Overcoming Racial, Sexual, and Gender Harassment on the Digital Battlefield (2021)

Troubles followed from childhood into adulthood, where she attempted to flee a violent relationship, which led to an attack on life which permanently disabled her. Through it all, Dr. Suggs found the positive energy to improve her situation.

Determined to never allow the violent experiences of life to define her. Dr. Suggs not only achieved her Doctorate of Science in Cybersecurity but 20 different certificates and licenses as well as in addition to security clearance for her career in protecting digital systems for both government and civilian organizations. President and CEO of Wyvern Security, Dr. Suggs details not only the pain of sexual, physical, and mental abuse but the steps she took to turn it all into becoming an industry leader in Against All Odds.
