Dr. Dontá Morrison Biography
Dr. Dontá Morrison is a nationally respected writer, producer, director and scholar-practitioner whose interdisciplinary work bridges public health, theology and social justice. For over two decades, Dr. Morrison has led critical conversations on race, sexuality and identity—challenging systemic oppression while uplifting the voices of Black LGBTQ+ individuals. His body of work centers the lived experiences of those too often marginalized by faith institutions and health systems, offering culturally grounded approaches to healing, education and inclusion.
He is the author of "Faithful and Forgotten: Navigating Race, Sexuality, and Belonging in the Black Church," a groundbreaking text that explores the spiritual trauma experienced by Black Christian gay and bisexual men. As a seasoned workshop facilitator, Dr. Morrison develops and leads engaging, youth-centered programs that focus on emotional wellness, identity development and resilience. His mentorship of Black and Latino gay youth has empowered countless young men to reclaim their narratives and build purposeful futures.
Dr. Morrison has lectured across the United States and internationally—including India, the United Kingdom and West Africa—on topics such as HIV prevention, LGBTQ+ inclusion and religious harm. He is also the co-owner of WATCH VIM, a streaming platform amplifying LGBTQ voices of color, and continues to create spaces where justice, visibility and transformation thrive.

Dr. Dontá Morrison Speaking Topics
How to Uplift Mental Wellness Through Spiritual Reconciliation
LGBTQ individuals of color often carry deep psychological and emotional trauma rooted in scriptural misinterpretation and intergenerational teachings that shame and denounce their sexual identity. The absence of affirmation—particularly within spiritual settings—can have long-term consequences that impact how individuals navigate relationships, careers, and community engagement. By examining the mental health effects of faith-based sexual exclusion on those actively seeking a relationship with God and acceptance within their faith communities, we gain critical insight into why spiritually affirming relationships are essential to both individual well-being and the collective growth of marginalized communities.
As a result, attendees will be able to:
- Identify the long-term psychological and emotional effects of faith-based sexual exclusion on LGBTQ individuals of color.
- Analyze the impact of spiritual rejection on interpersonal relationships, career trajectories, and community engagement.
- Recognize the importance of inclusive and affirming faith spaces in supporting personal and collective healing.
- Develop an understanding of how spiritual identity and mental wellness intersect in LGBTQ populations.
- Explore strategies for fostering reconciliation between faith and sexual identity to support holistic well-being.
