Davon “D” Robinson ’21

Senior Davon “D” Robinson ’21 is inviting students, faculty, staff, and community members to participate in his next uplifting video project. He envisions collecting photos of people enjoying their happiest moments with friends, family, or just doing something they love, pre- or post-COVID. He will then compile those photos with videos he has already obtained that showcase interviewees talking about how their lives have been affected by the pandemic. 

“The point is to have all kinds of pictures that show people being happy. I want to show how much has changed, but that we can all press forward to a brighter future,” explained Robinson. “It will create an opportunity for people to express what they are feeling. They will also know they are not alone in this and they’ll see there is hope for a better future all around.”

Please consider sending your happy moment photos through email to D Robinson at dhrobinson@ferrum.edu.

Images received are subject to review and may not be used in the final project.

Davon “D” Robinson ’21, a rising junior from Richmond, VA, who is majoring in social work and minoring in recreational studies, is troubled by the negativity seen in the world, so he pledged to promote positivity no matter the circumstances. Already known at Ferrum College for his positive Instagram workout videos, he took on a heftier endeavor to spend his last day on campus prior to summer break recording members of the campus community as they shared their goals and words of positivity. Robinson recorded and edited this video in only 10 short hours.

“I want to show people that no matter what they go through in life, they can make it,” explained Robinson. “The purpose of the video I made is to show that we may have different goals but we all can be positive towards ourselves and each other.”
