A Memphis & Georgia Survivor-Led Justice & Healing Hub

Color Your Story Onto Mine (CYSOM) is a survivor-led humanitarian hub operating in Shelby County Memphis, TN, and Georgia, integrating arts, emotional literacy, and justice partnerships to support survivors, at-risk youth, and justice-involved populations.

Through CYSOM Arts-Based Justice Programming (ABJP), we guide participants—including survivors, victims, and even offenders—toward truth, accountability, dignity, and freedom, transforming trauma into creative expression and eradicating cycles of harm one story at a time.

Our work extends to Shelby County Juvenile Courts to Elbert Shaw Juvenile Detention in Georgia, where we provide court-ordered youth with structured arts-based interventions, emotional literacy development, and reflective practices designed to build resilience, empathy, and prosocial engagement.
