Earlier this year, Kehlani was hospitalized after a suicide attempt. Fortunately, the Bay Area songstress has recovered and is back on the road to perform music for her fans. During a stop of her tour last month, Lani took some time to deliver an inspirational speech about the hardships of living with mental illness, depression and suicide. She shares:

“[Suicide] is something that so many young people are dealing with. And so many young people slip under the rug. Please don’t try it. Don’t do it.

Watch her speech below.
