Truthteller Project

About the Project

The truth teller project is a docu-series and movement to eradicate shame & stigma. The guests are high profile celebrities who have personally experienced decades of living with shame and stigma.

Did you know; That twenty-three million Americans suffer from alcohol and drug addiction. That 1 in 5 are sexually abused as children in this country. That each day in our nation, an average of 5,240 suicide attempts are made. That nearly half of transgender people have seriously thought about taking their lives and the rate of suicide attempts is 4 times greater for LGBT youth.

So what is going on and how will THE TRUTHTELLERS PROJECT make a difference? The TRUTHTELLER Project will look to address the feelings of hopelessness, isolation and shame that often lead to self medicating in order to numb the pain. We are a movement that believes in the power of story. That through sharing our truth we help to eradicate shame and stigma. That our stories help people feel less alone, give them hope and some tools to move forwards.
