This past weekend, I had the distinct honor of receiving an Honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters from Norfolk State University.
As an alumnus, former Rector, and lifelong ambassador for this institution, this recognition is profoundly meaningful. NSU shaped my leadership foundation, expanded my vision, and instilled in me a commitment to service that continues to guide my work today.

Devon Henry, I cannot express how grateful we are for your willingness to join us for the 2023 Black Philanthropy Celebration. The conversation was riveting, authentic, and entertaining. Many people may have heard about you because of your courageous work with the monuments but we know there’s more to you than that. You are a successful entrepreneur, HBCU supporter, family man, and devoted community leader. This year was by far the best experience. You've set the bar high for next year!
