Honor Humanity was born out of a desire to inspire change and honor the resilience of the human spirit. Originally founded as Hardister Hoodies by DeQon Hardister in 2019 in Dallas, Texas, our brand is inspired by the loss of Donny Hardister Jr., who tragically passed away due to suicide. His legacy drives us to not only create high-quality, streetwear but also to advocate for awareness, understanding, and compassion.

We believe that awareness is the first step toward meaningful change. Our goal is to educate, inspire, and advocate for better support systems, especially in communities where resources are limited or overlooked. Our content and designs are crafted to empower individuals, build resilience, and foster a sense of community—one story and one statement piece at a time.

Creating Advocacy and Awareness

For nearly four decades, advocacy for health and social issues has driven global efforts to reduce stigma, raise awareness, and provide vital support. From mental health and wellness to community and social justice, we aim to shine a light on the issues that impact lives every day.

Why It Matters

Mental Health Awareness: According to the National Institute of Mental Health, one in five adults in the U.S. experiences a mental health condition each year. Individuals from underserved communities are disproportionately affected by anxiety, depression, and trauma—yet many face barriers to receiving care.

Substance Abuse & Recovery Awareness
Drug and substance abuse is often a silent battle—rooted in trauma, mental health struggles, and systemic neglect. We stand with those who are fighting to heal. Our mission is to break the stigma by raising awareness and giving voice to the pain, resilience, and recovery journey. Through intentional design and storytelling, we aim to shed light on the real effects of addiction, especially in underserved communities where access to support is limited. Each piece we create is a statement of survival, support, and solidarity.

Grief and Resilience: Coping with loss, especially during the holidays, requires more than just time—it calls for collective empathy, safe spaces, and honest conversations. We acknowledge the invisible weight many carry during seasons of joy that can feel anything but joyful. Whether it’s the loss of a loved one, a friend, or even a version of yourself, we create with those moments in mind. Our pieces are crafted to honor the strength it takes to show up each day. Through reflective storytelling and minimalist design, we hope to remind wearers that healing isn’t linear—but your story still matters. You are not alone in your grief, and your resilience is proof of love that never fades.
