Tragically, most addicts shared needles, contracted HIV and many succumbed to AIDS. They were my brothers and sisters.

It’s a love letter to friends and family ... and even learning.” Jonathan's Book "Shooting Up": https://a.co/d/0102r9wd   Asking Why with Clint Davis Sponsors: A special thank you to the incredible sponsors of Asking Why with Clint Davis for investing in meaningful conversations that bring hope, healing, and growth to our community.   Wellness by Dr. Natalia — a physician-led integrative and concierge medical practice in Shreveport focused on longevity, regenerative medicine, aesthetics, and whole-person wellness.
