DaBaby is committed to breaking the stigma surrounding mental health, particularly in minority communities. He emphasized the need for open dialogue, adding that the initiative prioritizes “breaking the long going cycle of mental illness in minority communities & normalizing the conversation around mental health.
“Join me in my journey to save lives one step at a time, while preventing families around the world from enduring the tragic pain of losing a loved one.”
