Jakayla Dixon Inspires Through Her Company, Feel the Color

Jakayla Dixon ’23, recipient of the Washington Internship Endowment Fund Scholarship, majored in both political science and economics at TCU, and says her time at the university allowed her to follow her dream of serving the needs of those with disabilities.

Originally from Minden, Louisiana, Dixon is the founder and CEO of Feel the Color, a company that creates embroidered clothing tags for the blind and visually impaired. The inspiration behind this passionate venture is Dixon’s beloved Aunt Cynthia, a constant source of love and support for her. She has been blind for the entirety of Dixon’s life.

“Aunt Cynthia inspired the idea for my company, Feel the Color, by always asking me, ‘What color is this?’ She always liked clothes and fashion and enjoys looking her best. Since becoming blind, it is difficult for her to match her clothing.”

In addition to helping visually impaired individuals gain greater independence and confidence, Dixon works to address other challenges this community and others with disabilities face.
