Devin Hickson
Owner + Daddy Hero
Devin is a leader in the Baltimore community who has a passion for creative content and helping others. He received his Bachelor’s Degree in Criminal Justice from Saint Augustine’s University in Raleigh, North Carolina and his Master’s Degree from Morgan State University in Baltimore, Maryland.
“I got into writing the book and all of this creative business really because of my family, and the late great Peyton. I realized that outside of the work that I do with different children and families in Baltimore that there were a lot of different ways that I could show people something different–especially in the black community (not everybody has to hoop, or play a sport). I love sports, so don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing wrong with sports, but I want to show people that there are other options outside of those people in our communities might usually think about.
After my daughter was born, I started thinking that I wanted to create something for her, and ultimately leave behind a legacy so that as she grows up she can really tap into her own creative potential. Even at three she’s already full of so much personality.”
Outside of his work in the community, Devin is a committed husband and loving father of two. When Devin isn’t writing he enjoys playing basketball, watching DC movies, and growing fresh vegetables and fruits in his home garden. "I'm blessed to have made it this far, because of the live I've lived so I'm grateful, everyday I'm striving to learn humility, because I don't think you can do much if you're not humble."
