Cassidy Lumpkin, Reporter
A fresh recruit on The Chant, junior and journalist Cassidy Lumpkin enthusiastically looks forward to participating in informing her community of real-world ideas and issues while advocating for her voice and others. Her writing journey started early— as a kid she proudly earned the “Most Likely to Become An Author” superlative in fifth grade. Since then, Lumpkin’s writing has expanded to worlds such as fantasy, poetry, research, speeches, and Bible devotionals. Outside of her studies, Lumpkin involves herself in NC Cross Country, Greenhouse Gang, Relay for Life, Beta Club, and her church’s Youth Family, design team, and daycare. An indecisive individual, Lumpkin’s pastimes vary between reading, watching cheesy rom coms, art (especially ceramics at NC), embroidering, listening to music, thrifting, and scrolling to the end of Pinterest. Lumpkin strongly values authenticity, human rights, love, and being unapologetically herself. With a lot to learn, this new journalist welcomes the opportunity to be on NC’s newspaper and further her writing career with the help of The Chant family.
