About Valerie Troutt Projects

Valerie Troutt Projects (VTP) creates multiple music-based platforms for Black people to thrive mentally, physically, and spiritually. VTP hopes to inspire, empower, and develop new frameworks to help build healthy alternatives to the constructs of white America. VTP nurtures community and is part of a vast network of BIPOC, Womyn, and Queer artists revitalizing Oakland’s music scene. During this time of displacement, poverty, and struggle our projects and events are a call to remember love by gathering community and uplifting song and the arts as medicine.
