Jake Channel celebrated 'Colors Bring Us Together' for 2022!
'Colors Bring Us Together' was our motto for the entire year of 2022 - as we hoped it would bring us together no matter the issues faced. While we are sadden of missing the opportunity to tour, we plan to make it up with some new videos in December 2022. What does the motto mean? 'Colors Bring Us Together' is a statement originally made by Jake, as he believes our colors are what make us unique and special - and it helps for us to come together! Realizing that everyone will look different is only accepting the fact that no one is the exact same. We hope this new motto for the celebration helps encourage others to stop fighting and show more positive emotions to each other!
