About Us
-Shades of Orange empowers individuals, families, and communities of color to heal, grow, and thrive by promoting physical, spiritual, and emotional wellness through education, resources, support, and community engagement.-
Shades of Orange, Inc. was established as a Domestic Nonprofit Corporation on December 22, 2022, in response to a growing need for accessible emotional support and wellness resources within communities of color.
Founded with a commitment to being a boots-on-the-ground organization, Shades of Orange connects individuals and families with resources, education, activities, and support designed to help them navigate life's challenges and strengthen their overall well-being.
While our work began with a strong focus on grief and emotional trauma following the loss of loved ones, our services have expanded to address the whole person—physically, spiritually, and emotionally. We recognize that grief, stress, family challenges, social and economic hardships, relationship changes, trauma, and other life experiences can affect every aspect of a person's well-being.
Through grief support, life coaching, wellness activities, educational programs, CPR and First Aid training, anger management, community events, and other supportive services, Shades of Orange strives to make meaningful resources more accessible to the people and communities we serve.
We believe that healing is not just about getting through difficult moments—it is about finding strength, building resilience, nurturing wellness, and creating a life in which individuals, families, and communities can thrive.
Message from Our Founder
Coming from a large family can sometimes feel like a blessing and a curse. We are blessed to have so much love, support and genuine concern for one’s wellbeing. However, when you have a lot, you lose a lot. Uncles, aunts, parents, grandparents, siblings and unfortunately, children. We come to know the pain of losing someone we love so dearly that only God can sustain us. Shades of Orange Inc. was born out of a desire to serve my family and community as we recover from the trauma of losing my daughter, Domanique Moore in May 2022. Her favorite color was orange.
Personal trauma is exploited on the local news every day desensitizing our minds to the pain the individuals are suffering. Our world is hurting. Let me reassure you that the pain is real. So many are deeply impacted by violence, death, divorce, and or isolation and don’t get much needed emotional support. In some communities it is considered taboo to admit your pain or struggles. It is viewed as a sign of weakness. I want to provide education and resources to people of color in communities that often go overlooked and underserved, letting people know that it is okay to not be okay and to get support when needed.
