Meet Upstander Trey Darnell
As a father to young adult Harper, Trey Darnell shares why it’s important he and his partner #StandUpStandOut to prevent #bullying for their daughter. “It sounds cliché to say respect is treating someone the way you want to be treated in return. Respect is accepting how beautiful it is that each and every one of us is different. By encouraging uniqueness in the world and expressing yourself in a confident, polite, and respectful manner, you lay the groundwork for a brighter society. When we stop worrying about how people are different from us and we welcome those diversities, we are acting selflessly.”
