Featured Organization
Testify is a live storytelling show in Austin, Texas.
All the stories told at Testify are true stories told by the people that lived them. Join them each month to hear folks share a part of their lives with you.
And, if you have a story to tell, they'd love to hear it. They take submissions all year long. They have themes suggested for each month, but they give wide room for interpretation of the themes.
