Praise for this book

"I Color Myself Different exemplifies Colin Kaepernick's continuous efforts to leave this world better than he found it, for all people. He reminds us that to be different is to be cool. To be different is to be special. To be different is to find value in yourself, just the way you are." - Malcolm Mitchell, author of My Very Favorite Book in the Whole Wide World and Super Bowl champ
