Background

About Devin Joyner

I’m a passionate arts educator and community builder currently pursuing my M.A. in Dance Education at NYU, with a mission to expand access to equitable arts programming, professional development, and storytelling-based workshops for youth and young adults. With 11+ years of diverse experience across entertainment, education, hospitality, ministry/worship arts, lifestyle coaching, and brand management, I believe in the power of artivism—using storytelling and creative expression to foster healing, empowerment, and social impact. I’m especially committed to uplifting those who may feel excluded from arts and entertainment careers due to life circumstances, creating pathways for confidence, opportunity, and growth. Currently, I’m looking to connect with like-minded professionals, mentors in arts education and education policy, and organizations committed to youth development, community arts, and culturally responsive teaching. Let’s connect if you are passionate about arts access, youth empowerment, education reform, or collaborative creative projects.
