After George Floyd was murdered on May 25, 2020, Jeff “Skin’ Wade had an epiphany.
As protests were going on all across America, Wade gathered a few of his powerful friends and started The Truth To Power Project, which exists to amplify resilience in the African-American communities. In essence, The Truth To Power Project is a creative endeavor that utilizes the power of collaborative music and puts the unrestricted funding directly into the hands of selected non-profits who are empowering African-American communities.
A member of the Dallas Mavericks’ television broadcast, Wade said: “The Truth To Power Project started last June (of 2020) when the pandemic was going on and it was after George Floyd was murdered and the sports and music community felt compelled to do something besides stand around and watch these things continue to happen.
