About
Acts of Color is about beauty, giving, compassion, positivity, and sharing. It’s passing on our stories of survival and hope and paths of inspiration. It’s about replacing darkness with light, and it’s always about lifting one another up… each and every day.
"Prepare yourself so that you can be a rainbow in somebody else’s cloud. Somebody who may not look like you. May not dance your dances. Or speak your language. But be a blessing to somebody.” ~ Maya Angelou
What inspired the name Acts of Color? The song 'Colors of the Wind' from the 1995 Disney movie Pocahontas. It's acts of kindness, but so much more.
You think the only people who are people
Are the people who look and think like you
But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger
You'll learn things you never knew, you never knew
Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
Or asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountain
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind
The rainstorm and the river are my brothers
The heron and the otter are my friends
And we are all connected to each other
In a circle, in a hoop that never ends
You'll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
For whether we are white or copper skinned
We need to sing with all the voices of the mountain
We need to paint with all the colors of the wind
You can own the Earth and still
All you'll own is Earth until
You can paint with all the colors of the wind
