“I have a liver disease where my autoimmune system is fighting against itself,” August said in one video. “Reality is I’m sick all the time. I’d really like to talk about it and I’m not looking for anybody’s sympathy.”

Sat down with my favorite person on planet earth to have one of the most HEALING conversations.. I hope it's as healing for you as it was for us. I pray that you not only hear me but you FEEL me. This shall soon come. #DRUGS

Please excuse my defense mechanism in this clip.. I'm sicker than ever & having a hard time accepting what I feel & what the Doctors are saying is most true. After sitting down and talking with my fathers mother and sister.. They explained to me that sickness & illness runs in my family. My father & grandfather both died of severe illness. 😞�’ but they were FIGHTERS & that's all that matters. �’�🏽✨✨✨ Just ride with me is all I ask.
