Celebrating a Community Champion: Devon Boone

In a world where compassion and understanding can sometimes feel rare, one local hero stands out: Devon Boone. Nominated by an anonymous community member, Devon has earned admiration not only for his professional accomplishments but for his unwavering commitment to helping others, especially our youth.Currently serving as the Director and CARE Manager of the Campus Assessment, Resources, & Education (CARE) Program at MiraCosta Community College, Devon has dedicated his career to ensuring that individuals in need have access to vital resources and support. In addition to his role at MiraCosta, he chairs the Basic Needs Workgroup and plays a vital role as a member of the Behavioral Intervention Team (BIT), tackling the unique challenges that students face today.Devon’s journey in social work began with a robust educational foundation. After receiving his Bachelor’s Degree in Social Work from California State University, Fresno, he pursued his Master’s Degree at San Diego State University. Armed with academic knowledge and real-world experience, he completed his clinical hours and became a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). His dedication to the field was fortified by his work as a Mental Health Clinician and later as a Program Manager for the only youth emergency shelter in San Diego County, where he helped minors experiencing homelessness, sexual exploitation, and various forms of abuse.

It is no secret that the world can be a daunting place, especially for young people navigating challenging situations. Devon understands this struggle and is passionate about forging pathways of hope for those who feel lost. He believes that every young person deserves the chance to be heard, valued, and supported. His tireless advocacy aims to inspire others, illuminating the breadth of the social work profession and reducing the stigma that often surrounds it.

As a role model for students in high school and middle school, Devon encourages future generations to consider a career in social work. “There is so much that social workers can do,” he says. “Whether it’s in schools, hospitals, shelters, or communities, social workers play a crucial role in advocating for those who often cannot advocate for themselves. It’s about being a voice for the voiceless and fostering an environment where everyone feels safe and cared for.”

Devon is also a firm believer in the power of education to transform lives. He regularly engages with students, encouraging them to pursue their passions and embrace the opportunity to make a difference. His dedication to teaching and empowering others has made a lasting impact on those fortunate enough to cross paths with him.

Why Did You Start My Black City?

A MESSAGE FROM BRANDON BORNES (FOUNDER OF MY BLACK CITY)

We often worry that we don’t have enough resources in our community to go around. When we see someone in our community doing what we do but better, we get a little nervous or intimidated. Instead of using competition to spur on our creativity, teamwork, work ethic and innovation, we become soo overwhelmed with our own fears and insecurities that we gossip, sabotage, or hurt one another. This has happened to many exceptional people in our community. We need to do better and lead by example. Our love for each other needs to be greater than our fear of failure.

If we had to simplify into one word what My Black City is about, it would be LOVE! Because Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.

When people come in contact with our brand, that’s what I want them to experience. It‘s not an easy aspiration to live up to, but we believe it‘s worth fighting for and it‘s what we need as a community.
