Human dignity is what makes us human — and it survives only when we choose to pause and see one another. The Honorable Deidra R. Moore, an elected judge in the Bronx NY, shares stories from the bench and what it means to choose dignity in every interaction. Hon. Deidra R. Moore is an elected New York Civil Court Judge in the Bronx, a former trial lawyer, and a nationally recognized speaker on dignity, humanity, and leadership. Before taking the bench, she spent two decades in private practice, representing people at their most vulnerable moments—when their freedom, families, or futures were at stake.

She is the author of From Me to You: The Power of Storytelling and Its Inherent Gen
