Donnell Carey is a dedicated community activist whose work bridges social impact and creative expression. His work includes being a Sheet Metal worker/HVAC technician by trade and holding many related certificates that solidify his competitive edge in the mechanical industry. Donnell is also involved in initiatives focused on youth empowerment and he intends to battle social injustice and systematic imbalance by starting a self-funded after-school program called The Rising Suns of the World Campaign. The Rising Suns of the World Campaign will provide teens with tools for success and leadership such as reading literacy courses, self-awareness, mental health awareness, conflict resolution and emotional intelligence skills, job readiness training as well as employment opportunities, entrepreneurship skills, union building trades readiness sessions, and community engagement projects, to name a few. Donnell has his faith in God and his purpose in serving people as the driving force behind his reasons why he does the necessary work, and he continues to champion the belief that art is not only a reflection of community-but a catalyst for change.
