What Is Secretly Y'all?
Since 2010, Secretly Y’all has curated live events and provided a microphone and a safe space for those who have a true story that wants to be shared, as well as a welcoming space for those who choose to listen.
Each event is based on a theme, and anyone is invited to submit stories inspired by that theme. Each event we select a different local non-profit to highlight and collect donations
SY are the individuals who have been willing and wonderful enough to stand up with a microphone and share a story, and all of those who have shown up again and again to listen and show their interest and support through this simple act.
