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.
We are excited to announce that our short documetary, AND WE REST ON GIANTS, has won Best Short Documentary at the 2023 National Black Film Festival & Best Short Documentary (Special Programming) at the August Wilson Black Bottom Film Festival!
The T.R.U.T.H. Project envisions a world where all LGBTQ+ communities live their lives free of stigma.
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 LGBTQ people 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. This project is generously funded by AIDS United and Southern HIV Impact fund.
