About the studio

Hi, I’m LaTonya.

I’m so glad you’re here!

Creativity has always been in my DNA. When I discovered AI, it honestly felt like the heavens opened, like I’d been given an incredible tool that could make life simpler, smarter and way more inspired.

But as I dove deeper, I saw people I love getting left behind because they felt too overwhelmed to try. Technology was moving fast, and they were standing still.

That’s why I started Color Me Happy Studio: to help local government agencies, small businesses, ministries and everyday people learn AI in a way that actually makes sense, without all the confusing tech talk.

Faith and creativity fuel everything I do. This isn’t about becoming a tech expert. It’s about making sure real people like you can thrive in this changing world.

The mission

We’re living in the age of AI, whether we’re ready or not.

Nobody gets left behind.

Not on my watch (unless they choose to)!

What I believe

The house rules.

Plain English

If I can't explain it simply, I don't understand it well enough yet. No jargon, ever.

No judgment

Every question is a good question. Everyone starts somewhere, and nobody gets left behind.

Learn by doing

You'll make something real in every session, because confidence comes from doing.

Faith & creativity

Faith and creativity fuel everything here. Technology should feel hopeful, joyful and a little bit fun.
