ABOUT THE T.R.U.T.H. PROJECT INC. 

Launched in March 2011, The T.R.U.T.H. Project, Inc. has become known for raising community awareness about resources that address LGBTQ communities and their allies.

Since its launch, The T.R.U.T.H. Project has had the opportunity to align with Grammy Award-winning artist Chrisette Michelle and Marsha Ambrosius for a special World AIDS Day installment created to raise awareness of HIV/AIDS stigma and HIV testing. The T.R.U.T.H. Project’s greatest impact has been facilitated with local and national artist at its quarterly installments focused on various art forms and concentrated messages.

In 2015, Kevin announced that The T.R.U.T.H. Project, Inc. was awarded 501(c) 3 non-profit tax exemption status for the federal government, allowing for further growth and program expansion. During this time Kevin launched the use of community discussion to bring community members face to face with professional resources to discuss issues that directly affect day to day living, ex. abuse, discrimination, HIV/AIDS, value, self esteem, etc.

Kevin brings an inside-out approach to art utilization towards healing because he believes in personal transformation and social transformations are interdependent. He has worked on the front line in the field of HIV and other health disparities and recognizes the need to continue to foster a space for healing, personal transformation, and social change.

ABOUT BLACK ALPHABET NFP

Our Mission - Black Alphabet’s mission is simple yet profound – to promote social equity awareness and education in all aspects of life for the Black LGBTQ+ community through the creative arts and media. In other words, we give the Black LGBTQ+ community a voice through artistic expression, and in doing so, we help our people lead healthier, whole lives. We are committed to storytelling as a form of healing, empowerment, and change. From a queer Black teen finding confidence at an open mic, to an elder seeing their life reflected in a film – these moments of recognition are what we work for.

Our Role – At Black Alphabet, you are the hero of the story – the courageous individual seeking representation, belonging, and hope. We’re simply the guide to help you get there. Our team, made up of Black LGBTQ+ leaders and allies from all walks of life, understands the challenges our community faces – because we’ve lived them. We’ve channeled that understanding into a decade of experience creating solutions: safe stages, welcoming screens, listening ears, and open arms. We’ve learned what it takes to capture attention and keep it: a bold idea (a hook point that sparks “Tell me more!”), a clear message, and a compassionate approach.
