Hey, this is Kaya from Bravo. We're Black. Don't worry, we're not changing anything up.

Aaron has not quit the podcast, and I haven't done a succession style hostile takeover.

You're actually listening to an episode of Bravo, I'm Black, where two to three times a week,

I set out on a solo bite to talk pop culture, lifestyle, and everything in between.

If you're just here for the classic episodes, come back on Wednesdays and Saturdays.

Now let's start some chaos.

Okay, you guys, I'm going to keep it a buck right now.

I am in the hospital because I am not feeling so hot.

What happened was the medicine that I have been taking to control my sickle cell and help my hemoglobin has been pulled from the market literally has been pulled from the market

right up under me and I had basically little to no notice and what you're supposed to do is lean off of

the medicine and I had no time to do that because it was time for me to get a refill and when a

medicine is pulled from the market you can't get a refill because apparently it was causing

all kinds of things to happen shortness of breath and possibly even death so what had happened was I went from taking this medicine that's been frankly helping me

and possibly harming others every single day for over a year and a half to not taking it at all.

And I don't know if you know how, like, you know, medicines work

because a lot of people aren't on daily medicines like I am.

So the way they work is if it's a medicine like that

and you don't lean off of it properly,

you kind of revert to whatever it was

or you start to revert to whatever it was

before you started taking medicine.

And for me, unfortunately, that means that my hemoglobin will start dropping.
