Devin Moore, the featured guest on this episode, touches on his journey of reclaiming his strength. When he was just 14 years old, Devin faced bullying because of his race and skin color. Instead of suffering in silence, he found his voice and stood up against the bullies, determined to make sure no one else felt alone in their struggles. This experience inspired him to establish #RaceToSpeakUp, an organization dedicated to eradicating bullying by educating young people on how to prevent it - that is what you will hear about in this episode.
Through #Racespeakup, Devin empowers individuals to recognize injustice and drive positive change in their communities. In the interview, he distinguishes between teasing and true bullying, shedding light on the harmful impact of the latter. Devin is also the author of "Devin Speaks Up," a children's book that shares his personal story and emphasizes the importance of self-acceptance.
In addition to writing, Devin conducts training sessions and workshops for schools and organizations, spreading his message of kindness and advocating for bystanders to become "upstanders" in the fight against bullying. His ultimate goal is to create a world where everyone feels empowered to embrace their true selves without fear of discrimination or mistreatment.
