The U is Silent; We Aren’t – S2,E7
It’s Your Turn: Why Communities Need People Who Show Up
When a mentor looked across the table and said, “It’s your turn,” Tony Davenport realized something important: communities don’t sustain themselves. They are built, shaped, and strengthened by people willing to show up. In this heartfelt conversation, the longtime public servant, community advocate, and DJ reflects on family, service, music, mentorship, and why every generation has a responsibility to carry the torch forward.

1:19
That’s the truth. I appreciate I appreciate that. Um so I’m Tony Davenport. Yeah. and u thank you for having me. Um one of my favorite
1:29
absolute favorite subjects is Staunton, Virginia.
1:31
So love to hear it.
1:32
Yeah. Staunton, Virginia is my favorite subject and um so I’m I was I’m born and raised from Staunton, Virginia.
1:38
Um grew up in in in the community went to the high school went to the elementary school, middle school, high school. Um, I am a father.
1:48
I am a husband, uh, brother, friend, and just, but most important, I’m a neighbor. Yeah.
1:56
I’m I’m a neighbor, and I’m a neighbor of everyone who lives in the Staunton.
2:00
2 minutes
Um, my day job. So, I I’ve worked in the public sector for 26 27 years. I’ve
2:08
worked in corrections. So, um, my last few jobs were I was the chief of probation and parole for the city of
2:16
Staunton in Augusta County in Wsboro for a little over a decade.
2:21
And I just switched roles to where I’m now a superintendent um the CO Springs um community alternative program. Yeah.
2:29
Corrections program in Greenville. Uh so um that’s that has been a huge part of
2:36
my life um is advocating for that for public safety. Yeah.
2:41
Uh and um so but my main job is is husband and dad and those are my biggest priorities.
2:49
Uh but for fun I uh I like to DJ and play music for people.
2:55
I know we were talking we were laughing a little bit before. I think some people may be surprised by what you said just a second ago that you have like a very
3:02
full-time job outside of being a DJ.
3:06
Yeah. And uh I know I know we’ll talk more about that later, but u you know the DJ was an avenue for me to
3:15
explore a hobby for mind that uh that and and a love that I had. So um that I love that I
3:22
have that I can give out to other people which is who can ask for more. Yeah, I love you and and I’m so glad you said
3:31
you love Staunton so boldly and vocally and vibrantly and love people the the same. Um I actually specifically picked
3:40
out this shirt after talking to you before in preparation for like more love. That’s what that’s what I get when I when I speak to you and and hear about your
3:47
family. Um going through your journey, you said you grew up here in Staunton. You guys moved away for a while, you and your family both. And your wife, did she also grow up in Staunton? Yes.
3:57
Okay. And then you guys moved to, you know, DC area for a while. What eventually drove you guys back here? And what was that connective point that’s
4:05
like we’re we want to stay?
4:08
Um, so I I guess I can’t start I can’t talk about what drove us back here without saying what drove us what led us to go away.
4:16
Yeah. Fair.
4:17
So my wife is Amy Davenport and you like said we we also I understand is a force of nature.
4:22
She’s a force of nature. Yes. And she’s she’s the one who behind me. She’s the wind behind me, pushing me um quite a
4:29
bit. And um so when you grow up in a small town such as Staunton,
4:36
you always you’re you’re bombarded with those images of like of the city and and those areas outside um of your
4:45
little comfort zone, you know, and you’re like, what is it like to live in a in a city?
4:52
and Amy share that same type of um type of curiosity curiosity.
4:57
So, we moved to DC right after right after we graduated. I went I went to Virginia Tech. Um I’m a huge Virginia Tech fan.
5:05
Uh but my wife went to UVA. Oo. So, we do have that. I bet tournament times. Interesting.
5:11
We had that we had that that little riv rival, but she did go to she did go to George Mason and that’s what that’s what brought us there. But we also we were
5:20
very excited about living in the city and seeing what the city had to offer us and you know so we took full advantage you know for those eight years or so.
5:30
Okay. So it was a good stretch.
5:32
It was a good stretch. We we uh we explored the city, went to the museums, explored the food, um we explored you
5:41
know the night life. We explored you know just um just all the things that the city had to offer. But it was what what what was
5:49
interesting was we started to come back and each it turned into be like once a quarter we were coming home.
5:58
Yeah.
5:58
Then it turned to once a month and then it turned twice a month. Twice a month
6:04
and um and we we um we we were sitting one day. We said why you know why are we
6:12
going home so much? and uh and the it was the things that we missed that that we it was the family.
6:20
It was that sense of self. It was that um that comfortability that comes from living in a town such as Staunton where you know Yeah. It’s nice to be able to
6:29
know a lot of your neighbors, but also kind of know where you fit in and uh and know that that you know that you can contribute to something bigger.
6:38
Yeah. Um, but also too it was fun because now Staunton also afforded us the things that DC afforded us.
6:47
The museums, you know, the the night life that we we enjoyed, the um the food,
6:55
the food, the food here, um that that type of and it was kind of a it was still city living.
7:04
Yeah. But just on a smaller scale.
7:07
Yeah. And so that’s why one of the reasons why we chose to come back also, and most people don’t know this, but we
7:15
moved back to the area one week after our son was born. That is a time to pack up and move.
7:23
Yeah. Well, it it’s funny because people my my supervisor laughed at me at the time. He said, you know, there’s like five major stressors um that a person goes through
7:32
in life. Put it all at once and you’re going through like four of them, you know. So, you know, new job, new new new um you know, buying a house.
7:39
But we we knew that we wanted our son at the time. And now we have, you know, I have 19-year-old
7:47
son and I have twin identical daughters, um Anthony and Brooke and Britney. Uh we wanted them to
7:56
have a similar um experience growing up that we did that we did
8:03
you know where it was a safe community where people knew who you were um and so that’s one of the major reasons why we came back home.
8:12
Yeah. You you shared with me um before when we were chatting that you at some point went on you know we have some amazing historical tours in stamp from
8:21
our historical society st guided tours there’s ghost tours uh but you were on one and it was like you had a story like running through your head or with your
8:29
neighbor like everywhere you went cuz you’re you growing up and then now just so ingrained in it. Is there I always love talking to people about their
8:37
special spot in Staunton. Not to like blow anybody’s special spot up. No.
8:41
But is there a spot for you that really stands out the most?
8:45
Yes. You know, it’s funny because when when I saw that question was going to be posed, I I I’ve thought long and hard. M
8:52
and because I have so many places and uh as much as I love the downtown area,
9:01
the the two major parks are my special place. Yes. McGomery Hall and Gypsy Hill. Yep.
9:09
And the reasons behind those are I don’t know of a I’m sure there is, but I don’t know of another town. No, they don’t exist.
9:17
Thank Okay, thank you. I I don’t know. I don’t know any other town the size of Staunton that devotes that much real estate
9:26
to the parks and that and those just two there’s other there’s what four or five other parks in the city of Staunton that most people don’t even know exists
9:35
and the reason why I know that is because one of my first jobs after college was working for the parks department.
9:40
Ah and I I know one of your previous guests was Did you work with Chris?
9:44
Yes. Chris told me he has my favorite stories in the entire world. I love sitting beside him in any meeting because I don’t know what’s going to be said. It’s amazing.
9:52
I I really enjoy working working with him and uh you know and especially right out of college and being able to be exposed to that type of professionalism
10:01
and uh to the list of Chris and all the other individuals at the parks direct department.
10:08
But how I have a hard time thinking of any other space that you can go, you can
10:15
go feed the ducks, ride your skateboard, ride your bicycle, uh ride a ride a train, a miniature choo choo train,
10:23
go fishing, go fishing, play golf, play golf, go swimming, and you can do all that in the same day. Name another place, not even leave the property.
10:32
Not even leave the property. So, uh, but McGomery Hall Park, so I lived real close when I grew up, I lived really close to McGomery Hall Park.
10:38
And, you know, my, you know, I was, I would grew up in the 80s, and you, if anybody knows about the 80s, us, my generation was last key kids.
10:47
And, you know, both my parents, they work full-time. And so, during the summer, my mom and dad would give me and my twin brother a few dollars and say, “Go to the park.
10:56
We’ll see you when the the street lamps come on.
10:58
We see street lamps come on.” I know you heard this story before. So, you know, we we can go to the park. We ride our bikes to the to McGomery Hall Park and we could
11:06
uh we had money to go to the pool and then we had you know money to buy our little lunch and but we would ride our they used to have a BMX trail there and
11:15
we ride our bikes on the BMX trail or you know we play on the playground we’ll play basketball and we would just spend the whole day in the park.
11:22
Yeah. And that was such a safe space.
11:28
Such a safe space, you know, and um but then and there always other kids there. Yeah.
11:33
You know, speak so it’s my my son loves both parks a lot, but especially Montgomery Hall Park. And
11:41
if anybody’s was there recently on the trail and heard somebody aloud, Spider-Man is here.
11:48
Always may have been that may have been my son. That was I have a three-year-old, so he was like, “Don’t worry, Mom. Spider-Man’s here.” But as
11:55
we’re going on our hike through everything, Rhino won’t be here. Like, all right, we’ll keep our eyes out on this trail. But oh, there’s such special spaces.
12:05
So, you know, I think that that that was my spaces were being able to go to those parks and but you know, as I’ve grown up, you know, downtown area has been
12:14
those has kind of grown into, you know, my new special place. Yeah.
12:20
I heard this before this antidote and then when I talked to you I’m like oh dang this is true. Um somebody once told me Chris Lacier who um you know very
12:28
very well and is involved in a ton of stuff and he’s like you think I’m involved go talk to Tony. Um he was like he’s been on more boards than anybody I know
12:36
and is is more great. And I started talking to you. I’m like he’s right. Yeah. So you are involved in so many organizations and nonprofits and
12:44
civic organizations and it’s one of the reasons I’m I’m so excited to have you on today. Um, I guess my question and feel free to to share any of the the
12:52
programs your your work. I don’t think we have time for all of them to be honest, but I’ll pick but if there’s anyone to chat about, but I
13:01
I’m just really interested in talking through how knowing that our our biggest commodity and value is time and
13:09
especially you’ve shared this that it is such a value to you um and how you show up in the world. How do you how do you keep saying yes to serving?
13:20
I guess I say yes to serving because it’s really hard to be in the game by being on the sidelines.
13:29
You can’t if if you’re going to if you’re going to impact the game, I think it’s you need to be you need to be in the game and and not and not on the
13:37
sidelines and looking in. Um, as I as I mentioned before, I’m a I’m a husband, you know, and a father, and
13:45
those are my biggest priorities. So, uh, I wish I could say yes more.
13:51
And because I would love to be even more part of, and I have unfortunately, and it breaks my heart with the people I had to say no to.
14:01
Yeah. Uh, you know, I tell people all the time, I’m on a lot of boards, but if there is a board meeting and my daughters have a volleyball game, you
14:09
can rest assure, you know, where I’m gonna be in the gym. I’m gonna I’m gonna be at the gym. But, um, but if I do have the time, then I’m going to be at those
14:16
at those meetings given my talents or my skills.
14:20
You know, I’ve there’s certain boards that I’ve served on over the years that have just made a profound impact on me.
14:26
Tell me about the first the first project and program you got involved with that like kind of kickstarted everything.
14:31
It was I was I was asked um my good friend of mine his name is Ryan Blosser to be on um Project Grows. Yeah.
14:39
And and I know a lot of people probably heard of Project Grows now but those who don’t know it is a remarkable organization
14:47
where they are really trying to combat food insecurities but also so by growing food.
14:55
Yeah. And not only growing food, but the the most uh profound part of that involvement was we were bringing the
15:04
kids to the farm and show them how to you really where your food is coming
15:11
from. Your food is not coming from the grocery store. Just show up on the shelf.
15:15
Show the shelf in this bag. You know, it has to start somewhere. It starts with a seed and you put it in the ground and you cover it up and you water and you tend to it. Then you come back and you
15:24
um so you know there was um there was one night a week where we would bring kids to the farm and we would um
15:33
harvest the food and then we would make dinner and we would make a big salad and somebody would bring you know u meat and
15:42
we would cook and we would all sit around the table at the farm and eat together. And it’s so funny cuz you you you pluck a green
15:49
from the ground and you say to a hand it to a 8-year-old say, “Hey, eat this.” Like I’m not into that. What do I know?
15:58
Trust me, you can just It’s good. It’s really good. I promise you it’s good.
16:02
They go take a bite out. They go and their eyes go, “This is good.” Like, yes, this is really good. And um but you know then
16:10
you think about how many kids don’t have access to that type of that type of food source or that type of nutrition and they’re they’re just getting what they
16:18
can get. Um so I really enjoy Project Gross and um and and so that was that was kind of what jumped off jump started my love of being on
16:27
boards and um that’s that was one of those boards where the board was actually lot of the staff too. You know
16:34
we did the work. It’s such a because it’s especially now I mean I’m I hear all the time of organizations and
16:42
nonprofits and associations are not able to sustain anymore because the volunteer management side just
16:50
doesn’t it doesn’t exist in the same capacity and there’s a multitude of reasons I think all of us just our capacity how much we have on our plate is
16:59
so much it’s just growing growing growing for everybody. Um, so I think that’s what’s so interesting about you and your wife and your family as a whole
17:06
because you guys are all involved in so much stuff, but not just in involved in things of personal interest, but really of of
17:16
service programs. And so I guess when you how do you prioritize? How do you say, “Okay, I’m always going to show up my
17:24
for my family, but also I’m I’m going to I’m going to figure out the time of or here’s what I’m going to come to the table on and and I’m going to take home.
17:32
I’m going to take time that I could be cooking or doing a project at my house or resting or doing work, whatever it might be.”
17:40
How do you how do you make that decision?
17:43
Because most people are saying no. Not most, I shouldn’t say no. Many people are saying no just for self-protection or whatever it might be. But how Why are you still showing up?
17:53
Um, I don’t I think I guess once you show up and you get that that feeling
18:01
of helping out your neighbor, um, helping to and you see that that that result come. I guess they just like a booster
18:09
shot to you in a way. Uh but I also you know I kind of prioritize first of all what are my skills
18:18
and what can I bring to the table but also too like what’s my area of concern and what’s my area of influence.
18:23
Okay please say this because I I’ve heard you share this once and it was it was very profound to me because I was like yes so to talk about this your area
18:31
of concern versus impact impact influence. Well, this is not this Tony Davenport did not come up with this by any means necessary, but I remember
18:40
it was said to me that, you know, we all have area of concern. We’re, you know, we’re concerned about so many things in life.
18:47
um you know and and I’m concerned about things that are happening across the country across AC across the sea and you
18:56
and but the time that I have available the resource that I have and the skill set that I have
19:04
if I only have four hours where is the greatest impact and that’s my area of influence.
19:11
Yeah. So I look I try to find areas that okay this is where I can have the biggest impact at
19:19
and because there’s so many there’s so many helpers out there.
19:22
Yeah. um that I try to figure out, okay, where can I have the biggest impact at?
19:26
And then that’s where I devote most of my time to and I find out that if if I feel like I’m not and there’s other people there who are having a bigger
19:34
input impact, then I just say you guys let me know when I’m needed because I’m, you know, I’ll
19:43
I’ll go to the sidelines, but I’ll be back. It’s also very valuable for the self-p protection side because that has to be a real discussion too is is
19:51
also being truthful as yourself of like my presence is here. My presence could offer whatever it needs to be but it may not align with what the the need is at this time.
19:59
Exactly.
20:00
20 minutes
And giving yourself permission like you know what I’m going to step back on this one and I’ll be here when when what I can offer can. Yep.
20:06
Yeah. Um, and I had to I I had to, you know, do that, especially right now with with with my children, you know, and
20:13
their extracurricular activities, you know, 16-year-old twin daughters. They got a lot going on. Yeah.
20:18
But and then what I my focus now is to okay, how can they start having some influence
20:26
of on their community? I think, you know, we’re going to touch base on that a little bit.
20:30
Well, share on this. So, because your daughter, well, your your son also, but your daughters are doing some really cool stuff. So they they are are are
20:38
vlogging, right? Am I using the term correctly? Um creating really amazing content for the food scene and music scene and things happening. And so being
20:46
such um a community advocate but also a storyteller. Like what is it like to see your next generation doing that in their own way and I’ll say this in their own way.
20:55
Yeah. It’s so wonderful. It is so every time I just I can’t You just lit up.
21:02
I know. Can you tell? like I go. It’s just so much fun to watch them and see them, but they’re also exploring Staunton at
21:10
the same time. So, um, another good friend of mine, Patrick Height, I think the world of Patrick, you know, with the news leader and I think, you know, and
21:18
he my my daughters, you know, with volleyball, they got to know Patrick and they just created this um this friendship. Oh, sorry. Sorry.
21:28
Patrick started to help my daughter in her um her ad. She was she’s really looking into photography. Oh, neat. Yeah.
21:36
So, she lo she I bought her got her a camera and um Patrick was kind of helping her with that. And so, in their discussions during that, they came about, let’s
21:44
let’s go try these different places. And the light bulb went off.
21:48
And so, it’s Brooke and Britney and another good friend of ours, um Jarvis and Sam and her their daughter Kennedy. And they go to different places
21:57
and they try the food or they try the drink and they they they rate it. Yeah.
22:04
And I think they started off when Waw Wa when when Wawa first opened, they went to Waw Wa and Sheets and they did a taste comparison.
22:13
Yeah. Exactly. Controversial. Controversial, right?
22:16
People are passionate about Yeah. And that and that’s and that’s what And I was worried. I was like, “Oh my god, are people going to get upset they choose Waw Wa over over
22:23
sheets and or vice versa?” And uh but the the the comments and the the the when I walk around I say I saw your girls on you know there it’s just so
22:33
but uh it’s so much fun because I’m seeing through in in real time what’s happening
22:40
what we Amy and I longed for by moving back to town.
22:45
We wanted to see our our kids become a not only not not only just kind of I guess not not inherit Staunton.
22:53
Yeah. but own like they’re a participant be a participant of it and so you know they’re out exploring and they’re and they’re doing a thing.
23:02
So I just love it. I I really I think it’s wonderful and I hope they keep doing it.
23:06
Uh another thing that my children are are doing which I I I really I really want to tell a lot of parents if they
23:14
have opportunity please look look to do this. Um, you know, I’m on the board of the community foundation, the city of Blueridge, and
23:22
through that organization, we have uh with YPC, which is called the the Youth Philanthropy Council. I don’t know if you I just heard a little bit about it. I’ve not I’ve not interacted. Yeah.
23:32
So, you know, the community foundation, and this is Miriam Burrough, she’s the head of this and the community foundation, you know,
23:41
we’re philanthropy. We’re philanthropy group where we um give grants out to nonprofits. amazing organizations,
23:48
amazing organizations, you know. So, and we do that on a large scale, but on the the YPC side,
23:54
we bring 14, 15, 16, 17 year olds in and they read the grant proposals,
24:03
oh, of the nonprofits. So, you know, we the community foundation, we set a a certain amount of money aside, and I know Dan is gonna be so upset because I can’t remember how much it is, but it’s okay.
24:13
certain money side where um these students can um choose how much to go to each nonprofit.
24:22
So the nonprofits come, they sit down and they do a proposal and they tell them a little bit more about their nonprofit and what their goal is and
24:30
what their target population is and and what issue they’re trying to address. And then the students go together and they choose who and how
24:40
much each nonprofit gets from the funds, which my son did it and my daughters do
24:46
it now. And it’s it’s wonderful because they can see firsthand some of the issues that their their
24:55
their fellow classmates are are addressing. Staunton, I’m the first one to say Staunton is
25:02
wonderful. I love Staunton. But um unfortunately we are not without the sim similar challenges of other places as
25:09
far as things of that nature. So it’s it’s a real thing to say and I think it’s it’s um fair to talk about
25:15
right now is is we have the most incredible community and we can say that but I can also say
25:23
that from a place of of privilege and and I’m I’m very grateful for that. You know we’re not all experiencing the same Staunton or fill in the blank of any
25:30
community. We’re not experiencing it the same way. Um, from your perspective and experience, how do you feel like we
25:38
can show up more and pay attention more to build to build a better community for everybody involved?
25:45
Well, I’m glad you asked that. Um, it goes back to that whole neighbor and the definition of neighbor and what
25:53
my definition of neighbor is the like you said where we all aren’t experiencing the same Staunton. Mhm.
26:02
And we face the similar challenges such as food insecurity, housing insecurity for some um job, you
26:11
know, insecurity, things that all of those things that those foundations of life that you have to have in order to,
26:18
you know, have a quality of life and but never I never forget that each
26:26
one of our neighbors who live beside us or across town, We’re they’re all
26:34
intelligent, talented, skillful um individuals um who
26:43
if we can all if we can imagine a community where everyone is at their full potential, what would that look like? And so if the
26:52
if my neighbor is not reaching their full potential for whatever reason, um
26:58
sure bad luck or um what have you what can I do to help them? So you know
27:09
and so I look at it say you know like like go back to the the sports analogy everybody has skills everybody is part of the team but you know there can we
27:19
all there’s so many jobs that we need skills that we need in this world such as mechanics
27:25
teachers police officers um bus drivers um corrections corrections personnel
27:33
anything of that and So in order for us to reach their full potential, everybody has to use their skills to better the community.
27:41
Yeah.
27:41
And so that is always been true true and dear to me is that all right and I think my good friend
27:50
Chris Lasser, he does a really good job with this too is that all right, I’m good at writing.
27:57
You know, I’m a he’s to brag on Chris.
28:00
28 minutes
I’m I’m I’m good at writing. I’m I’m a I’m a really good author. Um, I’ve been doing this for so many years. What can I do as an author?
28:09
Yeah.
28:10
With my skill set and my talent that I can use to benefit you.
28:16
And I think when when when we all do that, uh, show up at the show up to the table and say, “This is what I’m good at, and
28:24
this is what I can do. It just helps everyone. Yeah. So, I want I think I answered that. Yeah.
28:32
So, who am I to to to not do that?
28:36
Because I think all of our all of our neighbors are worth our efforts. Yeah.
28:40
And I like to see all of us be able to experience the Staunton that we all love.
28:46
You know what’s interesting and strikes me is um the field that you’re in and have been for close to 30 years now. Um, I feel like
28:55
especially when sometimes public sectors or or whatever it might be, many could go the route of being jaded and almost having a different
29:03
perspective of their neighbors just from that jadedness. Um, and and you’ve actively chosen to take the other path of saying, “No, I’m going to lean in
29:10
more and because I see humanity and I see people, I’m going to continue leaning in to the human work.”
29:18
And so, it’s just it it um I feel like especially with your work, you could have gone either way. Oh yeah.
29:23
After so many years especially and you’re like how you do that?
29:27
Um you know I guess and this is just me speaking as Tony Davenport know not in my official capacity but
29:35
um the way I look at it is that could you imagine and I think this this
29:43
is not this could you imagine if you were judged every single day from your from one poor decision that you made.
29:52
That’s right.
29:53
Could you you know like think about it would not be good. It would not be feel nice. It would not be good. And it also wouldn’t be fair and it would change my life.
30:00
30 minutes
Yes. And it would be wouldn’t be fair.
30:02
Um and so you know I’ I’ve seen throughout my throughout my years I’ve seen people who struggle with finding
30:10
their finding their footing and and and and putting that part behind them.
30:15
Putting that life behind them. once they do what they the trail that they blaze and the people they bring with them.
30:24
Yeah. And um so you know I think that you know most people I you you
30:30
show me one person who has never gone on the side of the law
30:38
or done something that is there something like then I’m like okay I don’t know him right
30:46
because I me too you know I me I don’t I don’t know that person um and so you know I look at them and say okay I
30:55
I don’t want my focus is okay, how do I keep you from continuing down that path. Yeah.
31:01
You know, um I tell people all the time, you know, through through my years, they said, you know, they say, well, you know, you work for corrections or you
31:09
work for the jail. And I say, but do you know I judge I grade my impact and my um
31:17
myself on how many people I keep out of jail? M that’s where I grade myself as as as as
31:25
Tony Davenport and what I do for a living. And so I think that a lot of the reasons why I do touch base on a lot of the nonprofit
31:33
because a lot of the nonprofits and the volunteering indirectly overlaps with that there. It’s a touch point.
31:39
It’s a touch point. Yes. So, you know, I see where okay, where can, you know, I can bring that skill set that my
31:47
knowledge of my daily uh work to help you do what you need to do in order to make sure those
31:55
individuals have the resources that they need to succeed. Thank you. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
32:01
I want to go ahead and pivot because I don’t know when else to pivot. That’s all right. Go ahead.
32:04
Talking about skill sets though, because it is true of um I made this comment.
32:09
Well, we we’ve had a conversation the last two days of with some others around me and we’re like something so unique about Staunton is how
32:18
many talents people have like it’s not always like their biggest talent is like but then the thing that just like oh yeah so I do
32:26
this and it’s like would be a crazy level like people are just so multi-talented
32:32
y’all we have LD3 here in the house it is true many many people know you
32:40
from I always love um hearing how people know you and what they recognize you from. Of many it’s from your professional work, some it’s from your
32:48
foundation work and then others it’s like DJ. Yeah.
32:52
And so I’m going to back up one because you have a fantastic DJ name. Yeah. Thank you. Can we talk about how you got the name? Absolutely.
33:00
33 minutes
Okay. Wonderful. Yeah. Tell me what’s your name?
33:03
My my my DJ name my stage name is DJ L3D. Mhm. L3D.
33:08
L3D. Yes. L3D. And um so when I was when I was exploring becoming a DJ um I when
33:17
I spoke to a fellow DJ they say you need to come up with a name that’s unique to you that people will remember and has a story behind it. And boy does this one.
33:27
And I had I said, “Okay, well I said, what’s unique to me?” And so L3D
33:33
stands for the three L’s, which is um my father’s name is Lionel, my name is Lionel, and my twin brother’s name is Lionel.
33:42
Your twin brother.
33:43
My all three was named I don’t know if you guys all heard that correctly, right? Your dad, your twin brother, and yourself.
33:50
Yes. All named Lionel Davenport.
33:52
There was never any confusion in that household.
33:54
No. and and and this this is my mother’s decision and I love my mother for it. Um it has it has come with good and bad but
34:03
you know some struggles because you know all three of us had the same name. I remember going to a doctor’s office and the doctor kept looking at me and looked at the file looked at me looked at the file.
34:11
I said you got my dad’s file don’t you? He said like something’s not matching.
34:16
He said you’re not 50. I’m like no no I’m not. So yeah I just laugh. He said let me I’ll be back. So he went and he got my foul. But um
34:24
yeah, so I you know I’m I’m a I love my father. Yeah.
34:28
And I love my brother and you know they have been a huge uh part of my life of course. So I said
34:35
what be a better way to honor the three of us. Yeah.
34:39
So um one of my favorite song lyrics um is is Ava Brothers uh Murder in the City, but there’s a line I think it mostly
34:47
involves last names, but you guys take it to another level. One of my favorite song lyrics ever is um always remember there was nothing worth sharing. Like the love that let us share our names.
34:56
Yes.
34:57
You guys take it to a whole another level and I love that you guys are just internally connected. Yeah.
35:01
You know so and I remember I was trying to come up with a a picture or whatever.
35:06
So you know lion lional lion. So I have three lions with crowns on it. That’s my that’s my name. So people like so many
35:13
people ask me what does what does this mean? and I could tell them the story and and you’d be surprised how many people when you return back to them, they said they remember the story. Yeah.
35:21
So, I guess it worked. Yeah.
35:22
I guess it I guess it worked. But also to pay honor to my father and I know you’re a big lover of music.
35:28
We were talking about even even when we were just chatting earlier and and how much respect you have for um other DJs and the art form and and you have a a
35:36
weekly radio show. Um what is it about music that you love that connects with people?
35:42
My gosh. And I guess how has how has the music that you love influenced you?
35:47
Okay. Well, thank you for asking that and and and I I love this this topic.
35:53
I’m not unique by any means. I think music is universally loved by a lot of people. And
36:00
36 minutes
um so I just turned 50 a couple weeks ago. Hey, congratulations.
36:06
And so did hip-hop. You remember? So I grew up with Tell people you created hip-hop. No, by any means whatsoever. I did not create
36:15
said we’ll get shut down. Don’t do it. I was kidding.
36:18
I know. I know. I know. No, please don’t do that. Um, no. And so I grew up with hip-hop. I I laugh cuz I tell people I say hip-hop helped raise me.
36:26
Sure.
36:26
You know, and so you know, and so I grew up with a with an art for now not not saying anything bad about I love all
36:35
music. I love rock music and country and uh R&B. love all community but hip-hop has is just a unique genre of where
36:43
people had an opportunity to really speak from their hearts and speak with their influence and what they saw and you know and that just spoke to me you
36:52
know growing up listening to you know your run DMC’s and your day souls and your tribe called quest
36:59
and you know all those those individuals who you know really painted a story in their music
37:07
just emotionally just tied into me. Yeah.
37:10
And but then, you know, I I I love when I’m DJing and I see people out there and they’re having this great time and they’re
37:19
letting all their words just go away and just fall away from them and I play the music and I could just see they’re like the next song they just, you know, they scream and they love it.
37:29
Um, and so I just love that part. And then also I know that I played trombone in high school but I can’t I cannot play an instrument.
37:39
Okay. and and and you know to to today and so the DJ controller is kind of like my instrument but I have so much respect
37:46
for the the individuals in our community who played live music you know and know
37:53
like um so you know I was I was on advisory board for hyitz right and you know that was that was wonderful for me that that that time was was

40:04
Yes, they were plastic I think for this song and it was incredible. It was incredible and I was like almost teared up because it was soon after, you know, Aussie
40:13
passed away, but like the way that they were so even though it was a very fun rendition, they also still really landed
40:19
on the lyrical side of it and I’m like it’s so much and I I sit there I sit in all of them and I think I don’t really
40:26

Yes. Um, and so Ben asked me to come on because he knew how much I love hiphop and and u, so we got to talking and then
41:46
we just morphed into this show where we love to we kind of like like we kind of debate each other a little bit, you
41:55
know, we kind of feed off each other, but we um, we’ll take certain albums and we’ll just break down each song in an album and we play the songs or we or
42:03
we’ll take different years of, you know, hip-hop like 1995 and we break down what that meant. to the, you know, meant to
42:10
not only the hip-hop community, but also what it meant to the world, you know, because, you know, how hip-hop has, you know, just,
42:17
you know, like um you know, it just how it went, you know, had changed the world
42:24
and like and with with with that particular year.
42:29
Yeah. Yeah. Um, and so then, you know, and then a lot of times I I do I do DJ live sets on Tuesday nights where I go on and I just just doing two hours of me
42:38
just just DJ from the heart, you know, like just like what I want to play tonight and I just u do that because goes back to community and neighbor.
42:49
I laugh because I think that could you find another boring mundane night than a Tuesday night at 7 p.m.
42:56
It’s not the most bumping night.
42:57
No, it’s not. It’s not the most bump at night. And so but I so you know in my in my mind I think about okay I’m thinking about the mom and dad who is in the
43:05
kitchen trying to cook dinner and help their kid with homework or do the laundry for the and I’m thinking for these two hours
43:14
if you tune into the show me and Ben we we are going to try to bring a party into your living room so you can dance
43:22
and you can just for that couple for that hour or that 15 minutes you listen to us we’re just going to jam. jam
43:30
bring joy and bring some joy into your life and by bringing older songs that you grew up with cuz you know that’s our
43:38
you know we focus on u R&B soul funk jazz hip-hop but you know not many today we can touch base on day but the
43:46
music back then um so you know just the sharing of music is is huge to me is huge
43:54
talking about um influence during different times when you were talking I I just vividly remember it’s one of the greatest like teacher moments I ever
44:03
experienced with one of the most incredible teachers I ever had in my life. Kathy Spears, shout out to Kathy.
44:08
Um she was one of my English teachers in high school. I remember when she was teaching poetry and all the guys started
44:15
just moaning and groaning about it, oh poetry. And she didn’t say anything and they were like, “Oh, that’s why this is so uncool this and that.” and she went
44:23
over to her own personal bookshelf and pulled off um the rose that grew from concrete, Tupac Shakur.
44:30
She didn’t say who it was first and started reading. Yes.
44:33
And she was like, “Well, according to Tupac, it’s pretty awesome.” And then she had us, she changed her entire lesson and pulled them in. And then by
44:41
the end of the week, the guys were just so ingrained, but it allowed her to open up an incredible book. Incredible book.
44:49
Oh, she’s amazing. But it’s also an amazing poetry book, but it allowed her to then open up all the other stuff that, you know, that we were we were
44:56
learning. So, yeah, it’s it’s incredible what music forms can do and and the words and the impact of hip-hop especially.
45:03
Well, I think I think people, you know, like forget, you know, what music does to you, the lyrics that does, not just the lyrics, but the music to, but the
45:12
lyrics, what it does to you, how it impacts your your attitude. I think we all have a song that, you know, we go to that is kind of like,
45:20
all right, I need to What’s your go-to jam? Oh, yes. Oh, I’m curious. Okay, two questions. Yeah.
45:26
What’s your own personal when you’re like, I really just need to get like get my head in this. What’s your personal go-to jam? And then what’s your
45:33
go-to jam to like change the mood for like you said on when you’re on the station or if you’re at an event or something that you just need to set the tone for it? What What
45:42
are your songs? So, um I guess my this is this is going to sound really strange, but my
45:50
alltime favorite song of all times is um Grandmaster Flash, The Message.
45:58
Why is that your favorite?
45:59
I don’t because um it’s an interesting song to say the least. You know who I’m talking to you,
46:08
right? Like don’t push me because I’m close to the edge. Um, I think that that song is it it really
46:17
explores and outlines like the negative parts of
46:24
life existing, you know, how you know having enough to eat or this and that and that kind of thing and you
46:31
know or really not it’s really focuses most on this on the urban life but I mean I think it transcends to rural as well.
46:40
Um, but there’s this feeling in the back of it where even though he’s listing out all
46:46
these ills, so have you there’s a positive to it.
46:52
Like he he’s talking about, you know, but he’s like, um, but I still have hope.
46:58
Yeah, I still have hope and I and I hope that I can overcome this.
47:02
Yeah. And a sense of control like just just enough control to still like Yeah. keep showing up. Yeah.
47:07
But you feel like don’t push come closer. I’m trying not to lose my head.
47:12
Like, please respect respect where I’m at right now, but remember, I haven’t lost it. Yeah.
47:20
I’m still here. I’m still strong.
47:22
Um that I guess that that’s that song has always spoke to me. And I think I don’t think most people see it that way.
47:28
Um but I do. And it’s just like like he said, “Don’t push me. I’m close.” Yeah.
47:34
But I haven’t gone over. and you two could be close, but you haven’t gone over is why I think
47:42
that’s just like always been my favorite song of all time. I think it’s probably one of the reasons, you know, kind of influences why I do what I do. Yeah.
47:49
Um, but my go-to song is Oh my gosh. What I mean go-to songs you had.
47:54
But like I don’t know, Frankie Beverly and Maze, you know, those great songs.
47:59
Uh, uh, I don’t know. It’s funny because I it all depends I guess the the audience and the mood you know u
48:08
but yeah that’s but my favorite song has always been Grandmaster Flash and the message if you ever need a walk up song. Okay
48:15
I’m going to remember my walk yeah my theme music. All right I’ve got two final questions.
48:20
One thing I want to open because it it really struck me and I appreciate it a lot. um as a very appreciative transplant as we can say so newer to
48:28
Staunton. Um you know it can be tough sometimes for people and there are a lot more people moving to the area. I I met and it was such an amazing couple actually at our
48:36
visitor center this morning that stopped in and they were on vacation here and I can’t tell you the number of people I’ve met in the last two years that have
48:43
moved here after being on vacation. They just fell in love with the area, moved from Florida, bought a condo while they
48:50
were on vacation, moved here beginning of March, they’re now building a house. Um, and the the gentleman said he was like, you know, I
48:59
felt home twice in my life. Once when I met my partner and then when I came here.
49:03
And I was like, yes, I love it. Um, but you know, it’s also there’s there’s it’s not sometimes it can be
49:12
intimidating too when people are moving into your community and you’ve been here long and you’ve invested so much of time and energy and you know, but um I don’t
49:21
know, you just have a very positive or confident outlook when it comes to new people moving and coming.
49:29
That’s what I That’s what I go for. It’s it’s funny you bring that I’m sorry. Did you re Okay. Um it’s funny right now because when I was coming I I was on Facebook. Forgive me.
49:40
How dare you?
49:41
And I saw um this post of Staunton, Virginia or Staunton Virginia page of course and um somebody said I’m moving to Staunton.
49:49
What are some things you know that I need to know? And the comments were like like thank welcome. we’re so glad you’re
49:57
coming and so you know and just say don’t we we do this and these are some things and you’re you know she’s a young she’s just like she has a three-year-old
50:05
like you and she’s like oh this this is a great place you can go this is and and it was just like that’s what I’m talking about. Um, you
50:14
know, that’s one thing that my wife Amy and I, we we talk about a lot is that we are so grateful
50:22
for the individuals who were born and raised here and who share who is
50:28
continuing to pull on that legacy of the standing from the 60s and the 70s and 80s. But the
50:38
people who are moving here, oh my gosh, thank you all for being here. I can I can go on for hours about the people
50:46
I’ve met who have moved to Staunton and the the the skills and the talents and the experiences that they brought and what
50:54
they’ve done you know we and I talk about know Tom and Pam with Arcadia project my friend Corey with Maid you know what you know she’s done um you
51:03
know Angela and uh Aadia you know I can go on and on and on and you coming from you know from you coming look what you’re doing for us with tourism and
51:11
understand, you know, there’s so many people who have come here and um like you said, who just came through for a day. Yeah.
51:19
My our next door neighbors, they they just moved to France. So, I know it’s okay. It’s so it’s all right. Um
51:26
but they were driving. They was they was on their way uh somewhere and they stopped and standing because they they got stuck in traffic and it was too late at night.
51:35
Um and they they stayed a weekend and they fell up and they bought a house right beside me. They’re both US diplomats. They would and they have worked all over the world.
51:44
Yeah.
51:44
And just to be able to sit down and talk to them, you know, um and
51:52
absorb the the things that they have brought their experience, but also how they see the community as fresh. But I was what I also appreciate about you is um and and
52:00
52 minutes
a lot of honestly Staunton as a whole because I think it takes uh a lot of confidence and self-awareness and like ownership of
52:09
we’re really good at what we do. Come join us. You know, and that’s something I appreciate about you is especially as new people move to to the city here,
52:17
you’re also like, “Hey, let me connect you with somebody that’s here doing these things.” And so you do just a beautiful job I think of encapsulating
52:25
it was like you know when people join us and move of of it’s not necessarily that um there’s not already such great value and worth here.
52:34
It’s just like oh great let’s put you and you together let’s let’s amplify let’s go to the next level.
52:40
Chris is great at that. Chris L is so that’s his that’s his strong point. But I do that as well too. Um it’s I think
52:48
you know Staunton is confident in what Staunton is. Yes.
52:53
We are very it’s magnetic.
52:54
We are very confident but we’re also not too confident to not know that we can be better. Yeah.
53:01
And that people coming from other places is going not it’s not it’s not a threat sure
53:08
to our identity but is is of benefit and to help us to to grow what the next Staunton is. you know, like with with my
53:17
daughters, you know, and and their their the kids and what they’re doing, you know, I I really want them to be able to
53:24
because it hit me one day and sorry, this is crazy, you know, growing up watching, you know,
53:31
the the older individuals above me, um, watching them how they impact Staunton and mold Staunton to what it is.
53:41
And then I was in a meeting one day with uh uh one of my elders and he looked at me. He said, “It’s your turn.” And I like, “For what?
53:53
No, no, no, no, no, no.” I’m still in charge of the cup. He said, he said, “It’s your turn.” And I said, “You’re right. It’s it’s our
54:00
54 minutes
turn and it’s time for us to step up and and do what we can.” And so one day I’m going to do the same thing hopefully with, you know, with my guest.
54:08
It’s your turn.
54:10
And What do what do you view? What what is what is your generation’s vision of Staunton?
54:16
And that I need to respect that because I had my time. Yeah.
54:20
And we had our time and and think we we pushed the envelope and we pushed, you know, brought it that much further. Now, where you going where you going to take
54:28
it? And you you can’t take your city to another level unless you have people from other places who have experienced
54:35
other other experiences come and say this is what’s possible. Well, speaking of legacy, I’d be remiss not to to
54:43
acknowledge um and you talked about I think you you were very in it sounds like and aware growing up
54:50
um your grandmother, Miss Rita Wilson, of course, who was the city’s first black council woman and just a force of
54:58
nature, I understand. Very um did did massive efforts and change, I guess. Was there a point that you were
55:05
you always cognizant as as she was in it of of the efforts and the impacts and the change that that that generation
55:14
that you said you know the generation above you was trying to make like were you cognizantly aware of it or just when did you start realizing that?
55:22
Um around high school. Yeah.
55:25
Um you know she was on council for 16 years. She was on the school board before that. Um, but watching her,
55:35
it’s different when you go into your grandma’s house. Most people go to your grandma’s house and you’re sitting there and you go, “I want some cookies, grandma.” You know, coming here for the ice cream.
55:44
The ice cream. Your grandma’s like, “She had cookies.” She always had cookies.
55:47
But she also said she’d always sit there and she’s and sit at the table and um the kitchen table and she would go, “Hey,
55:55
we we’re having some issues with homelessness and this is what we’re looking at doing and this is so for example, I remember
56:02
she was, you know, the area I grew up was Johnson Hill. You know, I grew up on Jackson Street.
56:08
Very, very proud of Jackson Street.” There you go. And uh and you know the area of Johnson Street, there was there
56:15
was an area there at the bottom there um right on Green Street that was just really having some hard time with with the infrastructure.
56:23
Sure.
56:24
And if she was at the table, she said, “I’m looking to bring Habitat for Humanity in.” And I didn’t know what Habitat was, but she explained it to me.
56:33
And it wasn’t what, a year or two later, Habitat Humanity was there and they were building building homes. And I think that was what
56:42
that was the the catalyst for me. I saw something from paper from I saw an idea
56:50
to paper to a decision made and then a result. Yeah.
56:56
And that had a profound impact on me. I remember to this day, you know, cuz
57:04
and my grandmother, you know, she she she was the force behind that. It wouldn’t she wouldn’t just her. Yeah.
57:10
But you know then you know watching Opi Kai he’s he was he’s a a big mentor of mine uh watching him you know go into council
57:18
and eventually vice mayor and see things that he was able to accomplish on his time there um and then what he’s still accomplishing today.
57:28
uh those, you know, but it when you watch people that you love
57:35
put that kind of effort, blood, sweat, and tears in to developing your community.
57:44
I’m not honoring them. Yeah.
57:45
I’m not honoring their their contributions by me just benefiting off of their hard work and not picking up the torch,
57:53
not rolling my sleeves up and doing it, too.
57:54
Yeah. So on that, this is my actual last question. I’ll throw in an extra one.
58:00
58 minutes
I think so many people we have a desire of wanting to do more or like oh I would love to see this impact made or you know that’s the that’s the famous sign of I
58:07
would love to see but I think sometimes people just don’t know how to show up like what would what do what’s your advice or what’s the first step for somebody just to be like
58:16
if they they see a change or want a change how do they how did how do they get in it?
58:21
How do they get in it? Um yeah, I think just find out where where where your passion is at. Yeah.
58:27
And where you want to and then look for where you can have the greatest impact at um you know like the community
58:36
foundation is one is a wonderful organization that know they have they do have their fillers their fillers out and they you know if you say you know I want
58:44
to work with homeless the the housing security they can point you in the right direction. Um there’s so many different volunteers out
58:52
there, you know. Um find that to find that nonprofit that that is doing the work that you want to contribute to. And
58:59
that’s where I think that you we’re can look at. Yeah.
59:03
But also too, there’s a lot of things out there that haven’t still haven’t been addressed. Maybe you can start your own nonprofit. I don’t know, you know.
59:09
Hey, so hopefully I answer that. Basically, show up. Show up.
59:13
Just just show up and sometimes just say, “I’m here. What What do you need?
59:17
What can I do?” Well, you know, look, I mean, if you look around there, the the people who show up in this community is tremendous.
59:25
Yeah.
59:26
