Creator & Founder of Social Artistry for Mental Health™️ | Transforming Mental Wellness through Art and Social Change
Violet Newborn
I am the founder of Color Your Story Onto Mine (CYSOM), a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering individuals, especially youth, to find their voice and reclaim their narrative through Social Artistry for Mental Health™️. Our motto, "Until You Can Color Your Own", symbolizes a journey of self-expression, healing, and transformation.
As a survivor of sex trafficking and complex trauma, I intimately understand the profound challenges of reclaiming one’s story. CYSOM was born out of this understanding—recognizing that everyone has a unique and valuable story, but often needs a safe, supportive space to express it. Through artistic self-discovery and community support, we guide individuals toward emotional resilience, self-awareness, and personal empowerment.
CYSOM blends creative outlets—art, writing, and guided self-reflection—with essential life skills to help participants regain confidence and ownership of their experiences. This process of shared vulnerability within a supportive group environment gradually leads individuals to find strength and pride in their own story.
Our vision is to create a space where every story is valued, and healing through art fosters resilience, hope, and purpose. We believe that social artistry is a powerful tool to help individuals connect their personal growth to the broader impact of mental health and social justice.
Join us in transforming pain into purpose, fostering resilience, and creating lasting change.
