D’Vonne Pickett Memorial Restream
#ThePostman - In honor of today's honorary street designation of a section of E. Union to D’Vonne Pickett Jr. Way, we are airing this interview of D'Vonne Pickett Jr. on The AC Podcast from October 8, 2019. The interview took place at Black Dot Underground and was hosted by K. Wyking Garrett.
Today’s honorary street designation honors the life and legacy of Pickett, who ran The Postman Seattle with his wife Keanna and was an active leader in the community with the CD Panther Football and Cheer program and beyond. The resolution to designate the section of the street, which runs from The Liberty Bank Building to Midtown Square, passed unanimously in the Seattle City Council.
The original caption from 2019 when the interview aired is below -
“Meet D'Vonne Pickett, he is from the CD, a graduate of Rainier Beach High School and Seattle University, played pro basketball internationally, married his high school sweetheart, returned back home to the Central District, opened a business that honors his family legacy, and now employs his neighbors and friends.
D'Vonne sits down with Wyking Garrett to discuss the current income gap in Seattle as well as the challenges and success that D'Vonne and his wife Keanna Pickett faced in launching The Postman Seattle as well as their future plans for their business and D'Vonne's vision for the Central District.”
