Color Me Empowered provides such a great benefit to the communities with which it works. Not only do the children themselves benefit from CME's programs, but also the community as a whole. The work of CME under Kristen's vision is inspiring!

I like Color Me Empowered and the art we create with them. It's fun. Art lets me express myself. I like the art projects because they're fun and the teach us how to express ourselves. They are also challenging and that is awesome, because I like things that challenging. This program is fun, challenging and mind-opening!

When the whole thing was put together, it was amazing. The project looked like it was out of a dream. The bench looked like a success. This is the highlight of art at school. The art we created is extraordinary.

I had so much fun when I did my project with CME. And I created an artwork that I'm really proud of. My artwork represents hope for peace and an end to the cruelty and harshness in our world. I hope people feel that when they look at my artwork.
