THE COVER STORY P. 01

Dining Scene with Black Chairs (2).png

Color taught me 

that relationships, not people, change the world.

How does a Puerto Rican girl riding around in the back seat of her parents’ car end up in Oregon, selling paint out of the trunk of her car, navigating her way to the top of a patriarchal paint industry with her own rainbow of colors and transforming lives with a bucket of paint?

THE CONVERSATION P. 02

Introducing

BURP

INSTANT RELIEF FROM SHOULD KNOW BETTER MISERY, WITHOUT SHAME OR BLAME.

Call it Misery Indigestion​

When a baby gets air trapped inside, pressure builds. They squirm, fuss, cry, and make everyone around them miserable until somebody helps release what they cannot say or do themselves. That's how a baby learns people care about them. Adults do something remarkably similar when somebody should have known better. And don’t.  That's how people learn to doubt that people care.
