"Colour Of My Skin are a game changer, because for the first time it involves every colour, White, Black, Asian, Biracial."

The Launch Night.
The launch night of Colour of My Skin was a resounding success, filled with emotion, celebration, and powerful storytelling. The feedback we received was overwhelming, with many attendees sharing how the evening truly captured the essence of our mission. We’re excited to share a glimpse of that unforgettable night with you.
Throughout the night, our "The Beginning" collection was on display, along with an exclusive, limited-edition launch shirt—black on black. The response was overwhelmingly positive, with many attendees expressing their love for the entire collection and especially the unique launch shirt.
On that poignant night, we shared the heartbreaking story of Vijay Singh, a young 13-year-old boy from Manchester who endured relentless bullying simply because he was Sikh. Vijay faced both verbal and physical abuse, leading to the tragic loss of his life. His parents bravely took the stage to share the profound impact this had on Vijay and their family. The room was deeply moved, culminating in a powerful moment where everyone stood in unison, applauding Vijay and his parents. This moment encapsulates our mission: to stand up against hate and educate for a better future.
"So this is why colour of my skin is unique! The Singh story terrified me! My own son has been bullied, cyber bullied, mentally bullied and ultimately mentally affected! The colour of my son's skin is white but, COMS includes all."
Clive Gorman, Dragonfly Crowd
The Impact.
We were honored to have special guests share their powerful stories on stage, highlighting the devastating impact of racism. A standout moment came when Show Racism the Red Card representatives asked everyone to stand and posed a question: "If you have never seen, experienced, or been in the presence of racism, please take a seat." As everyone looked around, not a single person sat down. The room was silent, and the message was unmistakably clear.
Thank You.
A special thank you to all of our guest speakers, special guests, and everyone who made this night possible. Without you all the night would not have been the same.
