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.
What if you gave yourself permission to pause?
On July 25, join us for the 3rd Annual A Vibe Called Rest Fest, where Queer and Trans communities of color, allies, artists, and wellness practitioners come together to celebrate rest, joy, creativity, and collective care. Experience live music, visual and performance art, yoga, massages, reiki, sound baths, art therapy, inspiring wellness conversations, and a vibrant marketplace designed to nourish your mind, body, and spirit.
A heartfelt thank you to lululemon for supporting this vision through its Community Wellbeing Grant, and to the Houston Arts Alliance and the City of Houston for investing in arts, wellness, and community.
✨ Your seat in this experience is waiting, but space is limited. Register today and join us as we rest, restore, and thrive together.

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.
