Truth B. Told

Born in Saginaw, MI, award-winning writer/spoken word artist Truth B. Told (born Christopher Owens) has wowed audiences for decades from Ford Theater in Hollywood to the Alvin Ailey Theater in Manhattan & Barclays Center in Brooklyn. The multiple slam champion has been featured on BET's Black History Moment series, Dove/Twitter's #SpeakBeautiful campaign, and has appeared on MTV, VH1, and PBS. He’s even crafted a successful pitch for a company on ABC’s Shark Tank. 

Owens is also founder and CEO of Culture PHX, a community-focused company founded in September 2017 which curates events and initiatives to empower Black and other underserved communities that has garnered national headlines for its work with the WNBA’s Phoenix Mercury and New York Liberty. As an activist, Owens has used spoken word to collaborate with groups like Reproductive Freedom for All and Martin Luther King III’s March On for Voting Rights to raise social awareness and address topics from racial injustice and women’s rights to voting rights and more.

Owens’ newest endeavor, CultureHUB—Arizona’s first Black-owned co-working and event space—launched in December 2023 on historic Grand Avenue in downtown Phoenix, providing a culturally safe space for Black entrepreneurs with creative and corporate backgrounds and endeavors. CultureHUB’s motto is “Connect Dots, Build Culture, Thrive Together.” Currently Truth B. Told is working to complete his MFA in Creative Writing at Wilkes University with a concentration in poetry and fiction and runs Culture PHX, a community-focused business that has made national headlines for its work with WNBA teams.
