Andre Jones, a Chicago resident, has recently opened up about his mental health journey in a unique way by creating a coloring book memoir titled “Colorful Memoirs: A Journey Through Andre’s Life.” Jones has been living at a residence run by Envision Unlimited, an organization that supports individuals with intellectual, developmental, and psychiatric disabilities, for the past two years.
In an effort to share his story and help others on similar journeys, Jones authored the coloring book. The proceeds from its sales are going towards supporting Envision’s mission of providing services and support to people with disabilities. The book is now available on Amazon and is a reflection of Jones’ experiences and an expression of his creativity and resilience.
Joined by Envision Unlimited Residential House Manager Treena Glover, Jones recently discussed his coloring book memoir in an interview with ABC7 Chicago. The pair shed light on the inspiration behind the book and the impact it aims to have on those who read it.
Through “Colorful Memoirs: A Journey Through Andre’s Life,” Jones hopes to raise awareness about mental health challenges and promote acceptance and understanding. By sharing his story in such a creative and personal manner, he is breaking down barriers and encouraging others to embrace their own journeys towards mental wellness.
