Ruby’s Rainbow was inspired by a little girl named Ruby who was born
unexpectedly rockin’ an extra chromosome. Ruby’s Rainbow was born out of
her family’s desire for her to have a life of opportunity, showing the world how
amazing and capable she is while helping other people with Down syndrome
go for their college dreams.
