About
I've spent years turning my own experience with bullying into a mission — founding Race To Speak Up as a registered nonprofit and writing Devin Speaks Up! to reach kids before silence becomes the norm. My message goes beyond awareness: backed by a psychology degree, I give audiences real tools to move from bystander to upstander, whether that's a classroom, a staff room, or a keynote stage. My work has been featured by NBC Chicago, Newsday, and TLC, and I serve as a Humanity Rising Ambassador, so you're bringing in a speaker with both a credential and a track record. I tailor every program (if needed) — youth, parents, educators, or corporate teams — so the message lands for the specific room I'm in front of. Most importantly, I speak from lived experience grounded in real psychological understanding, which is what makes the message stick long after I leave the stage.
