Penny believes that people should be treated how they, as individuals, need to be treated. She's learned to distinguish equality and equity and is discovering her commitment to equity. Her role models include her mom and dad because they have always shared openly with her about what is happening in the world and with them, and Penny values children being included in conversations that affect humanity.
