From basic checkups to advanced medical exams and specialized care, we believe that underserved communities of color deserve access to culturally relevant genetic healthcare.
Our Mission
Empower BIPOC communities (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) to understand their genetic health, make informed healthcare decisions, access essential genetic healthcare services, and connect to culturally relevant care.
Why Color of Genes® Matters

At Color of Genes, we bridge the gap between awareness and care—creating accessible pathways to curated resources and culturally relevant, comprehensive genetic healthcare from expert providers and certified genetic counselors who work alongside your healthcare team to guide your care journey. Our name celebrates the diversity in human genetics and honors who we are and where we come from.

We’re committed to changing that.
