Color Theory of a City is a short documentary that follows A Beautiful You from a moment in one of our classes, right back to its source. Our founder, Daniel Shad, didn’t build ABY’s harm reduction philosophy from existing models. He built something he once needed from the inside out. USC filmmaker Jinglin Jingan spent hours with him gathering pieces of his story, and somehow, managed to capture the spirit of everything in four short minutes.
A Beautiful You was recently featured by Blue Shield of California for its work creating spaces for healing through art and music. The article highlights our harm reduction approach, community-based programming, and the impact of centering belonging in spaces that often begin with barriers.
