Even commenting how, “I think the community will like this play, Beauty and the Beast is a classic and I hope our adaptation of it lives up to their expectations.”
Devin wowed audiences during the 2020 Miss Earth Pageant, a Project Graduation fundraiser in which boys were girls.
He brought many smiles and giggles as Miss Italy, Fettuccine Alfredo, while strutting in bright neon clothes reminiscent of the 80’s while lip-syncing Cyndi Lauper’s “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun.”
“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.” Mark 12:30 is Devin’s favorite bible quote.
