Shine A Light ATL
This episode of the Creator Lifestyle is a little different. We got the opportunity to interview a Creator with a Cause, Colleen Cruz,
Founder of Shine A Light ATL.
When we heard about Colleen Cruz we had to speak to her because we were truly inspired by her creative way of shining light on a
cause she truly cares about.
Colleen started Shine A Light ATL in January of 2015 to educate & change the perceptions regarding Pit Bull type dogs. What we love
most is how Colleen found a creative and unique approach to educating and informing people about the misconceptions associated
with pitbulls by taking images of pit bulls & their families’ and telling their stories to demonstrate that these dogs are just like any other
family pet & just like all dogs, should be seen as individuals.
Colleen was inspired to name her initiative by the quote from Dr Martin Luther King Jr. “ Stereotypes are like shadows, shine a light on
them and they disappear”
Colleen lives in Atlanta with her partner of 22 years Dan. They are proud owners of two pit bulls, Charlie Brown & Clementine.
