RAMMY® Award-winning Contemporary Christian singer, Mandisa Hundley, who has battled depression, responded to the sad news of designer Kate Spade’s suicide Tuesday.
The “Overcomer” songstress shared a heartfelt message pointing out the fact that “depression affects people from all walks of life.”
Mandisa, 41, addressed the tragic turn of events by sharing her own experience. She posted actual voice messages from loved ones repeatedly checking on her when she went through depression. The sound recordings are from the introduction of her critically-acclaimed Out of the Dark album.
“It’s one thing to say that I shut out everyone who loved me, but I wanted people to hear the kinds of messages I was receiving from my loved ones during that dark, hopeless season. These messages went unanswered by me, but I heard them,” she wrote.
The well-loved singer with the big smile, who first rose to fame as a contestant on the fifth season of American Idol, continued, “If you have a loved one that you sense is walking through darkness, I want to encourage you to do what my loved ones did for me.”
