Speaking on the project Sullivan stated "I wrote Heaux Tales to give a voice to every woman. We’re deserving of respect whether we work as a CEO of a company or we stripping. It’s about unity. It’s about boldness. It’s about ownership and confidence and also about vulnerability and self reflection. It’s about a woman deciding how she wants to present herself to the world and not being told or influenced by anyone but her gotdamn self. It’s about women writing their own imperfect stories. Unashamed."

In the years building up to this release its clear that Jazmine Sullivan has wanted to show women standing up as a collective, as a sign of strength and power and the idea of the complicated relationship dynamic from the perspective of these women.
