In recognition of May Mental Health Awareness Month, Grammy, Dove, and Stellar Award-winning artists Lecrae and Tasha Cobbs Leonard have kicked off a powerful conversation about mental health & cancel culture. The two icons have started releasing small portions of a larger very honest conversation on their socials about depression, therapy, and the pressure they’ve felt to be ideal role models. Throughout the conversation, they reveal the scars left from deep wounds and how they’ve healed from them.

They also chat about their controversial collaborations with secular artists, and how the backlash impacted them. Tasha was criticized for her single, “I’m Getting Ready,” ft. Nicki Minaj while Lecrae was blasted for his “Blessings” single ft. Ty Dolla $ign. Both songs celebrated God’s blessings!
