Recovery Ain't No Drag: Loud and Proud

Recovery Ain't No Drag: Loud and Proud

 On June 23rd, 2022, I, Jada LaShae put on “Recovery Ain’t No Drag: Loud and Proud” for Pride month at Recovery Café, Lexington. Living my life as a black trans women in recovery, from a substance abuse disorder to mental health issues, I debuted this show for anybody who wanted to same high-energy pride fun without the typical mind-altering substances.

 

After being in active addiction, it’s hard to find sober fun where you can just let loose and have fun without the use of drugs or alcohol. Finding a healthy and positive community of peers like those in transitional living homes and community centers can be a game-changer. If anybody needs help mentally, physically, spiritually, or through addiction, I would advise them to ask for it. Find a network that is supportive of your wants and needs and that will listen to you without judgment.

 

Find a new way to live without letting go of the real genuine you. People have to find a way to channel the energy we possess and put it into positive things that make our world beautiful. You are worth being a part of this world. You are special to someone.

 

 

If nobody has told you today, I love you.

- Jada LaShae
