Our mission

At the Color Human Project, our mission is to empower people to embrace and celebrate their individuality. We believe that true strength comes from recognizing and honoring the unique qualities that make each person special. Our goal is to plant the seed of critical thinking, encouraging individuals to think for themselves, form their own beliefs, and be proud of who they are. By celebrating our differences, we can come together in unity, creating a community where everyone’s unique contributions are valued and where diversity is seen as a source of strength and beauty. Through storytelling, education, and open dialogue, we strive to challenge societal labels and inspire a deeper understanding of ourselves and each other.

Our vision

We envision a world where every individual feels empowered to embrace their true self and celebrate their unique identity. A world where diversity is not just acknowledged but celebrated as a source of strength, beauty, and unity. At the Color Human Project, we see a future where people are no longer confined by societal labels or superficial differences, but where they connect on a deeper, human level—fostering understanding, empathy, and mutual respect. In this future, each person is encouraged to think critically, form their own beliefs, and contribute to a community that values individuality and collective growth. We believe that by planting the seeds of independent thought and self-acceptance, we can inspire a generation of individuals who are proud of who they are and who work together to build a more inclusive, compassionate, and harmonious world.

My Journey to the Color Human Project A Path of Transformation and Purpose

The Color Human Project: A Journey of Rebuilding

The Color Human Project was born from a deeply personal journey—one that took me from the darkest places to rebuilding myself, both mentally and physically. This project isn't just a mission; it's a reflection of my experiences, challenges, and the unwavering support of those who stood by me, particularly my best friend, Carlos.

A Life-Altering Experience

Twenty-seven years ago, I found myself in a place I never imagined I’d be—prison. It was an experience that changed me forever, not just because of the loss of freedom, but because of what I witnessed and learned while I was there. In prison, I saw firsthand the destructive power of segregation and the impact of grouping people based on race, background, and other superficial labels. People were divided, categorized, and set against one another. The system encouraged this division, and it created an environment of distrust, fear, and hostility. It was a harsh reality, and it opened my eyes to the dangers of labeling and separating people. As I observed this, I realized that the same forces at play in prison were also present in society at large. The labels, the divisions, the segregation—they weren't confined to the prison walls. They were reflections of a broader societal issue that was just as detrimental outside as it was inside. This realization was the beginning of my belief that grouping and segregating people is not just wrong, but harmful. It breeds resentment, stifles personal growth, and prevents us from seeing each other as individuals with unique worth.

The Transition: Rebuilding Myself

After leaving prison, I knew I had to change my life. I wanted to be a different person, someone who didn't judge others based on labels or group people by their differences. This new understanding guided me as I started my contracting business. I poured everything I had into creating something meaningful, just as I had rebuilt myself from the inside out. But life had more challenges in store for me. Years later, an accident left me unable to walk and forced me to leave behind the physical work that had been my livelihood. Unable to continue in my trade, I found myself in a financial spiral that eventually led to homelessness. Experiencing homelessness was another turning point in my life. It exposed me to the harsh realities of how society often treats those who have fallen on hard times. I saw firsthand the segregation and grouping within the homeless community, and the way people were judged and marginalized based on their circumstances. This experience didn’t break me; instead, it reinforced my belief that we, as humans, need to help each other, not tear each other down.

Carlos: A Beacon of Support

During this incredibly difficult time, Carlos became more than just a friend—he was a lifeline. His unwavering faith in me helped me find the strength to keep going when I felt like I had nothing left. Carlos showed me love, understanding, and belief when I needed it most. He reminded me that even though my situation was dire, I was still capable of rising above it and making a difference. Carlos's support didn't just help me survive; it fueled my passion for helping others. My experience with homelessness made me more passionate about making a difference in the world, about creating something that could help others find their strength in the face of adversity. This passion became the driving force behind the Color Human Project.

The Birth of the Color Human Project
The Color Human Project is more than just an initiative; it's a reflection of my journey and the lessons I've learned along the way. It challenges societal labels and encourages people to think critically about the way we define ourselves and others. It emphasizes the importance of personal responsibility, individual character, and the connections that bind us together as human beings. This project was inspired by my experiences in prison, my time being homeless, and the support I received from Carlos. These experiences taught me the dangers of segregation and the power of human connection. They strengthened my belief that we must see each other as individuals, not as labels, and that we must reach out to help those who are struggling, just as Carlos reached out to me.

Conclusion

As I look back on my journey, I see a path filled with challenges, growth, and transformation. From the days of rebuilding homes to the lessons learned in prison, to the struggles of homelessness, every step has brought me closer to this moment. The Color Human Project is the culmination of this journey—a testament to the power of resilience, personal growth, and the love and support that carried me through. I am committed to this project, and to its mission of challenging societal norms and promoting individual character. And I am grateful for the people, like Carlos, who have helped me along the way. Together, we are building something new, something meaningful, and something that I hope will make a difference in the world.

"Growing up with my friends, I saw the mixture of our differences as a mosaic, each of us contributing to a colorful picture of what it means to be human. Our acceptance of ourselves as individuals allowed us to coalesce into a bigger picture of acceptance, love, and respect toward one another. Moving forward, I hope the world can learn to embrace each other's uniqueness and work as one."
