TRUTH BE TOLD, A +LIFE MEDIA ORIGINAL SERIES

Hosted by Emmy and GLAAD award-winning journalist Tony Morrison, “Truth Be Told” invites guests to share their stories and what motivated them to start living life fully in their truth. Tony wants to inspire others to do the same by sharing stories from those who have overcome the impossible and who, as a result, are living in their fullness today.

Tony Morrison (he/him) is GLAAD’s Senior Director of Communications and an Emmy award-winning journalist. GLAAD is the world’s largest lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) media advocacy organization. Previously, in his time at ABC News and Good Morning America, Tony spearheaded the creation of the news network’s first LGBTQ+ employee resource group for LGBTQ+ journalists and allies and oversaw the brand’s social and digital strategy as a senior producer. Tony also co-hosted the D23 Inside Disney podcast, Disney’s official podcast. In a personal essay published in August 2021, Tony shared his experience of living with HIV in secret over the course of eight years. This widely-read piece has brought greater awareness and understanding to many; Tony is shredding stigma by sharing his story and being a force for change.

“Our stories are our superpower,“ said Morrison. “Cultivating a safe space where incredible people can empower themselves and others is a gift I don’t take for granted. This next round of powerful voices are shining examples of authenticity who are shedding light on powerful and moving queer experiences.”In “Truth Be Told,” Tony sits down with celebrities, newsmakers, and changemakers living extraordinary lives who had no other choice but to live life in their fullness.

The latest round of guests kick off with drag artist, Eureka O’Hara, as she tells all: from overcoming addiction to her journey in coming out as a trans woman on-camera for the world to see in season 3 of HBO’s “We’re Here.”. Her truth is one that has truly set her free. She updates us on the latest as she explores her unapologetic self. Following Eureka, Tony will speak with actors Eva Reign and Sarah Anne Masse, GLAAD President & CEO Sarah Kate Ellis, Broadway star Shoshana Bean, trans advocates Jasmine Davis, Eden Rose Torres and more.
