Devine Carama Visits Dunbar

The Emmy award winning Musical Artist and Lexington Native visited students to talk about making an impact in the community.
On Nov. 14, Devine Carama visited Dunbar to speak to freshmen and sophomores about building community from within.

On Nov. 14, Dunbar freshmen and sophomore students attended an assembly to hear from local rapper and activist, Devine Carama.

Although he graduated from Tates Creek High School, Carama said he has a special affinity for Dunbar. “From the moment I walked in the door this morning I was greeted with friendly faces,” he said. “It’s a welcoming community.”

According to Spectrum News Carama has spoken to more than 50,000 students across the country. His topics range from leadership, legacy, power of words, bullying, diversity, inclusion, and more.

His non-profit, Believing in Forever, focuses on resources for kids, most notably an annual coat drive that collects thousands of winter coats for kids in need.

After the assembly, Carama stayed to meet with students, take photos and listen to their stories.

“I want to be a resource for you,” he said.

Hi! I'm Alexander, a staff member going into his second year of PLD Lamplighter. I've been doing photography since the age of 7, mostly documenting my family's numerous trips around the contiguous United States. I enjoy trying to create a picture that is memorable and vivid by getting close to my subjects and using creative angles. At PLD Lamplighter, I've been working on translating my photography skill into good video segments. It's been a challenge for sure, and I'm still figuring some things out, but I eventually hope to produce work that I'm proud of having my name attached to. On another note, I love cooking and I like to make dinner if I have the time. Some of my favorite foods (as of writing this) are lasagna, salmon sushi, and lemon chicken. I also spend a lot of time outside, usually playing basketball with some friends or going on a run with my dog. Some of my favorite artists are Kendrick Lamar, Nas, Def Leppard, and Frank Ocean. I love listening to music, and although I might be picky about a genre when I first hear it, I'll tend to warm up to it.
