Wilnisha Almond Sutton, better known as TRU7H, is an Artivist. She uses her vocal abilities and life’s lessons to inspire folks to change. She’s a voice for the voiceless. She has taking San Diego and many other places by storm with her boldness. TRU7H is just TRUTH. She’s a very honest person in all of life’s facets, who has learned to not tell all her truths to strangers…but if she could, she would. “It’s something powerful about owning your truth no matter how ugly it may be,” which puts her into an authentic yet vulnerable category of her own. She believes in all forms of love and in her community. “Love is a super power that we all possess we just have to tap into it more.”
