Storytelling Saves Lives
SpeakUp ReachOut is proud to present the 3rd This Is My Brave – The Show showcasing local stories of recovery to bring HOPE to those who may be dealing with similar challenges. Performances will feature community members who live with – or have loved ones living with - mental health challenges, substance use disorders, or suicidal ideation, telling their stories through personal essay, spoken word, poetry, comedy, original music, and dance.
Local cast members, selected after a series of auditions, include: Alex Kandalaft, Brenda Saucedo, Daniela Rios, Devón Sullivan, Joby-Béatrice Linet, Justin Allison, Katie Kessenich, Mauri Cummins, Tsvetelina Fuentes, Master of Ceremonies - Ian Grask, and Brave Singer - Dave Anderson. Meet our 2025 Brave Storytellers!
This Is My Brave is a movement to normalize talking about our struggles and sharing our healing journeys. You'll walk away inspired by this amazing cast of storytellers who are bravely breaking down barriers to end stigma!
