Colors of Confidence: The Runway Project

Team Lead: Sophia Sun
Team Member: Celine Wu, Emily Liu

Project Abstract:
Colors of Confidence is a high school student-led community initiative dedicated to empowering neurodivergent youth through art, creativity, and self-expression. Our team mixed the two mediums, modeling from our class with BAModel, and neurodivergent support from Peer 1 on 1 to make the ultimate fashion show. This project will create a supportive environment where neurodivergent children and teens, including youth with Autism, ADHD, and related conditions, can transform their creativity into physical and wearable art like (t-shirts) and participate in an inclusive fashion showcase.
This initiative holds values of all of our youth-led team. As students from Asian and Pacific Islander backgrounds, we have come face to face with how cultural stigma can affect conversations, especially surrounding disability and neurodiversity. Through this project, we hope to foster a more knowledgeable community where differences are celebrated rather than hidden.
