Preserving Stories, EmpowerHer Healing

Color Your Story Onto Mine Inc

Color Your Story Onto Mine is a faith-based initiative dedicated to archiving and chronicling the voices and artistic expressions of trauma survivors—especially African-American, Indigenous and Native women and girls. Through our museum, memorial, and healing programs, we provide a space for reflection, empowerment, and recovery, working to end cruelty against children and eradicate sexual violence. Our mission is to preserve stories, foster healing through the arts, and promote resilience by offering educational programs and exhibitions that inspire change.

Why This Matters to Violet Newborn

This vision is deeply personal to our founder, Violet Newborn, whose life journey is a testament to the power of art, storytelling, and community support. Having experienced chronic complex childhood trauma, sex trafficked via foster care system (by the state of TN & CA.), cult abuse via church & community, incarceration, homelessness, domestic violence and the daily challenges of PTSD, Violet has dedicated her life to ensuring that others do not go unseen or unheard.

Color Your Story Onto Mine is more than a museum, a school, or a garden. It is the embodiment of Violet’s mission to create a world where trauma is understood, healing is possible, and every story is valued. This initiative represents the essence of resilience, change, and hope—the very soul and bones of Color Your Story Onto Mine.
