Devin Singleton

Devin Singleton has spent his career behind the camera, working as a videographer and producer and telling other people's stories. But some stories are much more personal. In this episode of Hey Amarillo, Devin talks about his career in media and videography before the conversation turns to the loss of his brother to suicide and the ways that loss has shaped his life and his work. Devin is now bringing that experience to a limited series for Panhandle PBS exploring the lives of people who have lost someone they love to suicide. Our conversation goes beyond grief and into the language we use around suicide, the stories we tell about those who die, and the people who are left to carry a loss that is often incredibly difficult to talk about. This is a heavy episode, but an important one. Devin brings thoughtfulness, vulnerability, and a perspective that challenges some of the ways we have learned to talk — and not talk — about suicide. Content warning: This episode includes an extended conversation about suicide, suicide loss, and grief.
