Speak Your Truth

Since 2017, artists, speakers, and survivors have stepped onto SYT stages and online — in Annapolis, Pittsburgh, and beyond — using words, music, and performance to break the silence around mental illness. Curious how this archive came together, or what it’s for? Read the short story behind it →

Every voice is preserved here. You can explore by theme, find a specific performer, or revisit a whole event. If something you hear stays with you, that’s the point.

Three ways in

  • By theme — start with what you’re going through. Anxiety, grief, addiction recovery, community healing. Each theme gathers every segment that touches it.
  • By person — a specific performer, speaker, or collaborator. Each page shows every segment they appear in, across every event.
  • By event — see a whole show, start to finish, in the order it happened.

No commitments? Wander the knowledge graph — every person, theme, and event as a connected map you can browse and explore.

A note before you begin

The stories here don’t look away from hard truths — suicide, self-harm, addiction, grief, trauma. Holding space for those conversations is part of what SYT does. If you’re here and struggling right now, please know you’re not alone:
