(in-person storytelling open-mic) DESCRIPTION:  \nCome join us at LogOff Brewing for our monthly in-person true storytelling open mic event\, Do Tell! At the event\, you’ll hear personal stories told by regular folks just like you. In fact\, we invite you and anyone else who is interested\, to put their name in our hat for a chance to tell us all a story. You can find the guidelines below. Come out to just listen or come tell a story! Food and beverages are for sell at the venue. \nSecond Tuesday of each month (check our calendar for dates!) \nLogOff Brewing\n3054 Sunrise Blvd Suite J  \nRancho Cordova\, CA 95742 \n  \nGuidelines for Your “Do Tell” Open Mic Story \n\n\n\nTell us a TRUE story about something you did or experienced:  Fiction is wonderful\, but we want to hear about events from your life and things that you have personally experienced! Lectures\, rants\, listicles\, guided meditations\, singalongs\, sermons\, and elevator pitches ALL have their place\, but this isn’t it.\nTry to keep it under 8 minutes:  We’ll give you a gentle one minute warning at 7 minutes; please wrap it up by 8 min so that there’s time for everyone else’s stories.\nLeave your notes and phones behind:  We find that the best personal stories are often those that are told without notes. So please don’t read your story to us – just tell it to us! (And we won’t judge you if you mix up the timeline or forget a part!)\nBe respectful:  We want everyone to feel welcome and respected\, so please do not use stereotypes\, slurs\, racial epithets\, or derogatory language about any group.  Also\, please do not use accents and dialects from cultures that are not your own.  If you are unsure about something in your story\, ask the host.\nAim for an R rating (or less):  We know y’all have some crazy stories (and we wanna hear ‘em)\, but let’s try to keep them R-rated or under.  And please read the room; if there are kids present consider giving a content warning to parents.  Sometimes opting for euphemisms instead of coarse language will do the trick…  And finally\, please give a content warning before your story if you think it could cause anyone fear or anxiety. \n\n\n\nTo put your name in the hat\, show up a little early and find the host! The host will then draw names from the hat and those people will be invited on stage to share their 8-mins-or-less story with the crowd! \nStill have questions?

She is the creator of Stories de Mi Gente\, a bilingual storytelling project dedicated to reclaiming the narratives of Latino and immigrant communities with honor\, pride\, y corazón! Her calling as a storyteller began after a deep meditation revealed a truth she had carried for years\, she had never been empowered to own her immigrant story. In that moment\, Coralia understood the power of voice: how silence can wound\, and how storytelling can heal. Trần Mai Xanh (he/they) Storyteller Trần Mai Xanh (he/they) is a second-generation Queer\, Trans\, and Non-binary Vietnamese-American who wears multiple hats as a multimedia artist\, focusing on storytelling through photography\, DJing\, filmmaking\, and stand-up comedy. He is from San José\, CA\, and currently resides in Sacramento\, where he is known as Compost King\, a facilitator of composting\, gardening\, and a sustainability group called Compost Kin. Zai (she/her) Storyteller Zai is a writer\, teacher\, and filmmaker based in Sacramento\, California. After teaching in three different countries and earning a PhD in French literature\, she turned toward the creative pursuits closest to her heart: filmmaking\, writing\, and storytelling. She discovered the art of live storytelling during the final year of her PhD and immediately felt at home on stage. Since then\, she has performed regularly at platforms such as DoTell at Capital Storytelling and The Moth. Her work seeks to create spaces where people from all walks of life feel empowered to share their stories—spaces where\, beyond social and political divides\, genuine human connection takes center stage. Jenni Hernandez (she/her/ella) Storyteller Jenni is currently a graduate student at Sacramento State studying Higher Education Leadership and Policy. Her work at the Dreamer Resource Center has helped her find her "why" and it deeply motivates her to change higher education institutions to be more equitable for undocumented students. As a Mexican immigrant brought to the United States at the age of one\, she considered herself a bridge between many different cultures and is rooted in her community. Diana Cazandra Rangel (she/her/ella) Storyteller Diana Cazandra Rangel is a first-generation Chicana from South Sacramento and the daughter of a single immigrant mother. As the firstborn and a U.S. citizen\, she embraced every opportunity her status provided\, driven by her family’s consejos y ganas. Diana earned her B.A. in Ethnic Studies from Sacramento State and is now pursuing her M.A. in Chicana/o Latina/o Studies at Cal State LA\, where she focuses on women in politics\, jotería theory\, and filmmaking. She currently works for the Secretary of State in Downtown Los Angeles. Through her academic and professional work and many firsts\, Diana strives to pave the way for future generations. \n  \nQuestions and Answers! \nDo I have to get tickets for the event beforehand? Yes. This year for security reasons we are requiring all guests to order their ticket before the event (both in-person and virtual attendees). The event is FREE but you should go to our Eventbrite page (by clicking on the button above) to get a ticket. \nHow do I attend virtually? If you’d like to attend virtually\, click the button above to go to our Eventbrite page. You can then click “Get Tickets” and then you will have the option to order virtual tickets. You will then receive an email with the link to get into our virtually streamed Zoom event to watch the event online. \nI want to attend in person. Can I just show up on the night of the event? The short answer is “not really.” We will be sending the exact auditorium location only to those who are ticket holders (so you’ll need to order a free ticket before hand and enter your email address so that we can send you an email to tell you know where to go for the event!). If you show up to the University Union on the night of the event you will likely see where the event is (we’ll have sign up to direct you)\, BUT if you do not have a ticket\, we will still ask that you go to our Eventbrite page and get a ticket before you enter the auditorium. We are doing this so that we can maintain security of the event given the current political climate. We recommend getting that ticket before you arrive so that you can enter the auditorium easily and quickly and also so that you can be sure that we have a seat for you!  We have limited space in the auditorium (220 seats). \nWhere is the event located? The event will be in one of the auditoriums inside of the the University Union on the campus of Sac State (Sacramento State University is located at 6000 J Street\, Sacramento CA). We will share details about the exact room a few days prior to the event with those who have ordered a ticket for the in-person event. To see where the University Union is\, you can check out the campus map below! The University Union is highlighted in yellow on the map. You can also put “University Union” into your phone’s GPS application and your phone should also direct you to the building! \nWhere do I park? There is a parking structure right next to the University Union (see map for purple highlighted parking structures). We suggest that you park in Parking Structure 2. You will need to pay for parking. You can do that by paying at one of the kiosks in the parking structure OR by using the QR code on the campus map to pay by phone. If you are using the QR code and your smart phone to pay\, use the parking code 5115. (You will be prompted for this code when paying with your phone.) \n  \n\nTo enlarge the map\, double click on it. You can also find an interactive campus map here. On the interactive map you can type in the name of the building to find it and navigate.\n  \nThank you to our partners and our sponsors for this event. \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nShare this:\n Share on X (Opens in new window)\n X\n \n Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook URL:https://capitalstorytelling.com/event/immigrant-stories-2025/ LOCATION:Sacramento State University\, 6000 J St\, Sacramento\, CA\, 95819\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://capitalstorytelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/ImmigrantStories_2025Banner_Small_FBFit-2.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20251018T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20251018T153000 DTSTAMP:20260405T162307 CREATED:20221209T161333Z LAST-MODIFIED:20221209T161333Z UID:18388-1760796000-1760801400@capitalstorytelling.com SUMMARY:Sacramento Storytellers Guild Program (Monthly Hybrid Event!)

The host will then draw names from the hat and those people will be invited on stage to share their 8-mins-or-less story with the crowd! \nStill have questions?
