    What Did Lil Boosie Say?

    Welcome to Episode 5! We know that social media can get out of hand from time to time. People are always saying things that are out of line. In this episode, we talk about a comment made by Lil Boosie towards Lil Nas X and the stigmas within the African American community. We probably won't be able to change the narrative we have towards the LGBTQ+ community, but we can get real about the impact it has on mental health. If you or someone you know has contemplated suicide, please reach out to the suicide hotline for help at 800-273-8255  Visit us at: www.letstalkhealthinc.com  |  IG: @lets.talk.health and @dr.kadesha |  Twitter: @_Letstalkhealth  |  Youtube: Let's Talk Health
