What is Thriving in Color?
Thriving in Color is a community dedicated to helping creators, leaders, and entrepreneurs of color grow, lead, and thrive. Built on the belief that talent and vision are abundant but access, strategy, and support shouldn’t be out of reach. Thriving in Color offers the tools, network, and guidance that too many have had to go without.
Through a mix of education, curated experiences, and meaningful connection, Thriving in Color exists to close the gap and pour into the next generation of change makers.
Founded by Crystal Cartwright, a former corporate leader with over 15 years of experience at companies like Nike, Apple, and LTK, the platform is rooted in lived experience and a deep commitment to creating the kind of space she wished existed earlier in her journey.
