Ignited Podcast Episode #19 Holding the Microphone to Your Heart: Inspiration & Rapper 'YTG' Yung Turt Griffen
Description
"I am at peace with the man I am and I am looking forward to the man I am becoming." -YTG
Opening Song by YTG "Dancer"
COVID-19 has been a truly difficult time for everyone. YTG shares a message of light and hope from his own experience with suicide depression and anxiety. These negative emotions are exactly the kind of demons too many people are facing today. Thank God his attempt to take his life back in 2017 was unsuccessful because he now gives other people hope through his music and daily life. At the table, we discussed taking control of your life and finding peace in yourself and with yourself. Listen to the rest of the interview for more insights and inspiration! You matter, your dreams matter, and you have a purpose- as YGT says, "Everybody's life means something. You just have to find what means something to you."
