Being the second youngest of five in a lower class family, with a degree in literature, Devon’s story might not be one you think of when you hear about a model’s Origin story. Devon was born in Brooklyn, New York and lived in a tiny apartment with his mom, dad, older brother, two older sisters, and his younger brother for most of his childhood. From a very young age, Devon has always loved reading and writing. It’s all he did in his free time, despite all the teases from his classmates. In college Devon knew exactly what he wanted to do. He was going to get his degree and become a literature professor and a best-selling author. Junior year of college rolls around, and for the first time, Devon feels uncertain. He does love literature, but he begins to feel like it’s not something he should be doing. The answer suddenly hits him when some of his photographer friends ask him to be their model for a project. Throughout the shoot, Devon has a revelation that hits him like a brick. This is what he should be doing! His photographer friends can see this and they connect him with some modeling agencies. He graduated college the next year with not only a degree, but a whole new outlook on life.
