Shades of Blue Project

GRAMMY®-nominated, diamond-certified producer and global superstar Metro Boomin @metroboomin took the stage in Houston, Texas for the 15th stop of his ‘We Trust You’ tour with Future at the Toyota Center. The Houston show of the tour simultaneously marks the 15th stop in Metro Boomin's “Leslie Joanne Single Moms Are Superheroes” Tour Grant-Giving Program, providing $20,000 grants and show tickets to selected non-profits supporting single mothers in each market. At the Houston stop, Metro Boomin awarded a $20,000 grant to the Shades of Blue Project.. Shades of Blue Project is a Houston-based nonprofit organization dedicated to helping women of color before, during and after child-birth with community resources, mental health advocacy, treatment and support. The distribution of this grant is a continuation of Metro's national tour initiative, which offers financial support and show tickets to nonprofits that work to support single mothers and their families in each tour market. The ‘Single Moms Are Superheroes’ initiative launched in 2017 focused on hosting annual give-back events and activations. In December of 2023, Metro partnered with St. Louis-based non-profit organization RUNcG for Women and presenting sponsor Amazon Access to launch his grant-giving program within the initiative in honor of his late mother, Leslie Joanne. We are Grateful for the support and look forward to continuing to serve our communities locally and nationally. #BlackMamasDoMatter #DoItForTheCulture #TheConversationContinues #WeAreTheExpertsToo

I Did A Great Thing that I'm Super Proud of with Sigma Gamma Rho!!! I got to pour into groups of Black women from across the nation around their mental health and wellness. My JOY is multiple times 10 right now. It was easy to do and the difference made and shared in real time will keep me going and continuing to MAKE SHIFT HAPPEN. 💙💙💙 #wearetheexpertstoo #doitfortheculture #TheConversationContinues #BOULE2024 #SGRHOCommunityPartner

Dear Shades of Blue Family, We want to share the devastating news that our Shades of Blue Project Center has suffered significant damage due to the effects of Hurricane Beryl. This natural disaster has impacted our space greatly, but I want to assure you all that we are resilient and undefeated despite what it looks like. We will rebuild, and we remain hopeful for what the future holds. This year's Black Maternal Mental Health Week campaign has been a reminder of hope, letting us know that the best is yet to come and will. Thank you all for your continued love and support. Together, we will rebuild bigger and better. With gratitude, Kay Matthews Executive Director, Shades of Blue Project #ResilientAndUndefeated #WeWillRebuild #ShadesOfBlueProject ##BMMHW2024 #HoustonStrong #BMMHS2024 #THECONVERSATIONCONTINUES
