Damper is known across the community for his advocacy in areas of HIV Awareness and Prevention, Mental Health, Homelessness Solutions, and addressing Substance Abuse Disorder. Damper works with organizations such as The Therapy Fund Foundation, VOCAL-WA, and B.U.I.L.D. 206.
“I am always excited when I get an opportunity to fill in for the Community Queen of Converge Media (TraeAnna Holiday),” said Damper “The Day With Trae is where so many in our community turn to for news and information and I look forward to filling her seat while bringing my unique flair and bring a little bit of fun to the set,” added Damper
