When Devin Moore was a 14-year-old student, three classmates posted horrifically racist images of his likeness on social meda. Devin was stunned, angry, and feared for his safety. Fortunately, Devin has a loving family that helped him through that situation. Five years later, Devin just finished his first year of college and has been spending his free time helping young victims of bullying.

In this interview, Devin shares his experience as a victim of bullying and how he worked to overcome the trauma from that situation, he discusses the negative outcomes of bullying with an emphasis on cyberbullying, and he provides advice for bullying victims and parents of victims about where they can go to get help.

Devin is the founder of Race to Speak Up, an anti-bullying organization, where he educates youth about bullying prevention and empowers them to stand up for each other. Devin is the author of Devin Speaks Up!, a children’s anti-bullying book that stresses the importance of being okay with being different and speaking up to someone you trust about being bullied. As the host of Humanity Rising’s podcast Race To Speak Up, Devin interviews activists, business leaders, and entrepreneurs about how they create positive changes in their communities.
