TELLING REAL UNAPOLOGETIC TRUTH THROUGH HEALING

The Telling Real Unapologetic Truth Through Healing (T.R.U.T.H.) Project, Inc. is a 501(c) (3) non-profit organization whose mission is to educate and mobilize LGBTQ communities of color and their allies through social arts that promote mental, emotional, and sexual health.

OUR PURPOSE

ESTABLISHED IN 2013, AS A RESOURCE FOR LGBTQ+

Created to fill the void of limited programming and support for LGBTQ+ communities of color and their allies, the T.R.U.T.H. Project (TTP) has made possible a safe space for which individuals can express themselves, and seek guidance and support, that often proves to be life transforming or even lifesaving. We envision a world where all LGBTQ+ communities live their lives free of stigma.

🎤 heART&SOUL Vol. 140: STANDING OVATION

For 17 years, heART&SOUL has been a living, breathing testament to community care, creative liberation, and the power of amplifying Queer artists. This volume, we pause to give a Standing Ovation to our curator, host, and heart, Kevin Dapree, for stewarding a space where art, truth, and belonging meet unapologetically.

From the Root: A Collection of nine stories about family, pride, acceptance, mental health, and HIV is a nationally launched, southern-focused campaign whose over-arching goal is to educate, and encourage healthy mental wellness through the reduction of Stigma among Queer communities of color and allies. Shared through storytelling, unapologetic realities are revealed and experienced in hope of connecting and healing. Sometimes awareness can change the path of your life.
