On a recent informal stream, hosts engaged viewers on pressing health and political matters. To kick things off, they recognized October as Breast Cancer Awareness Month, emphasizing the need for support and raising funds for organizations assisting black women in combating the disease, a demographic facing a significant fatality rate from breast cancer. The stream highlighted the importance of donations as all funds raised would fully support such organizations, made possible through YouTube Giving. The hosts noted current fundraising efforts, which have already exceeded $700, and encouraged further participation. Voter engagement was also a key topic, with the upcoming elections approaching rapidly. Encouraging early voting, they underscored the need for followers to vote not just in presidential elections, but also in local elections, suggesting viewers check their registration status through vote.org. Meanwhile, Sean Ross bravely revealed his personal journey with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), a condition linked to long Covid, shedding light on health issues often overlooked. He shared his struggles, misdiagnoses, and the importance of public discourse in raising awareness about chronic illnesses. Notably, Solange also chimed in to support Ross and emphasize shared experiences in battling chronic health issues, advocating for better awareness and understanding. The discussion illuminated how critical it is to listen to one's body, seek second opinions, and not succumb to societal pressures regarding health issues.
