Episode 9 - AJ

In this episode we are honored to have AJ as our guest, where he delves into the world of fashion, gang culture, and a deeply personal topic: suicide awareness. AJ, who grew up in the southeast side of Chicago and found inspiration in gang culture for his clothing line "Southside Dreams," opens up about his own experience with a suicide attempt. In a raw and courageous conversation, he sheds light on the struggles that led him to the brink, and the journey of resilience and healing that followed. As we explore the profound connection between mental health and artistic expression, AJ's story serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of compassion, understanding, and supporting one another during Suicide Awareness Month and beyond. Join us for this emotional and enlightening episode as we tackle challenging conversations with empathy and hope.
