We all have secrets. For Katie Pruitt, the secret she kept for most of her life was that she is gay. Raised in a conservative community, she feared revealing who she really is would cost her relationships. And when she finally decided to tell her secret, it didn't go over very well. Talking didn't help. Arguing didn't work. But then she wrote a song about her experience. In this talk, Katie explains how adding a melody to her secret helped make reconciliation possible.
