‘Beyond The Gates’ Star Applauds Color Book for Its Powerful Disability Representation

Beyond The Gates Actress Colby Muhammad Shares A Powerful Praise

Beyond The Gates actress Colby Muhammad is celebrating the impact of the new indie film Color Book, taking to Instagram to share her admiration and personal connection to the story. In a heartfelt post, she praised the film’s emotional depth and the team behind it—especially her close friend, @kiah.alexandria.

“I’m so incredibly proud of my pwin @kiah.alexandria!! What a beautiful story you all have told,” Natasha wrote.

Color Book explores themes of fatherly love, grief, caretaking, and autism—topics rarely portrayed with such raw honesty on screen. Muhammad, who lives with lupus, an invisible disability, emphasized how meaningful it was to see authentic depictions of disability, both visible and unseen.

“Did y’all know that more than 1 in 4 adults in the United States have a disability, but it is one of the most underrepresented demographics in film, television, and theater?” she continued. “As someone with lupus… it was so beautiful to see the good, bad, and ugly that comes with disability.”

The actress concluded her post with a message of support for the entire team behind the film:

“There’s so much more I can say about this beautiful work but I’ll end with bravo to the cast and crew! I hope everyone is able to see this film.” 🧩💜

As disability representation continues to be a pressing issue in Hollywood, Color Book stands out as a reminder of the power of inclusive storytelling.
