Meg Delagrange – From Amish to the Culture Shock of Life in Japan and America, and Her Art

Meg Delagrange shares her definition of wild as simply as wearing pants. She grew up Amish in the state of New York. After being excommunicated, she joined her new husband at a military base in Japan where he promptly had an affair. She started over in Denver, Colorado as a single mother and became creative director of a website design company. She talks about breaking out of gray boxes, a miracle that allowed her to go to Uganda, what it’s like to model during fashion week, and her art which has shaped her life and her future, and much more! You can find her candid and very inspirational conversation on The Wild Side Podcast.

Meg and I met and bonded over hats at a WordPress Wordcamp in 2015.

Meet Meg Delagrange who calls herself a Coloring Spirit. She was born Amish surrounded by a gray world without color. But, nothing could keep the color locked up inside her. Instead, she broke out of the gray box to explore this big, colorful world. She is an internationally known artist whose artwork has colored places like Tokyo, Japan, Uganda, Africa, and across the United States. Meg is a successful entrepreneur, growing a business from 45 sales to over a million. She is a proud single mom and continues to break through barriers and limitations while defying social prejudices against single parents. 

You won’t want to miss this exciting episode. Meg has such a positive outlook and shares wisdom beyond her years. She also talks about the miracle that enabled her to go to Uganda with her sister.

Meg colors her world with her positive attitude, energy, and her art!
