Sterling aka the “TrapKing” Davis has dedicated his life to rescuing cats making sure that they’re safely neutered and returned. He started out life as a rapper but found his passion and travels around North America protecting cats that are stuck on the streets and stuck in bad lives.

Thirty years ago, we woke up to the news that he was gone. Remember how everyone was talking about it? It was a time when depression and addiction weren’t talked about the way they are today, especially how it tangled up with the chaos of fame. Depression and addiction affect so many, and it’s not as easy as choosing to be happy or not. It’s complex, clinical, and can deeply impact one’s life. Just wanted to toss out some thoughts on being sensitive towards artists, the ongoing dialogue about what it means to find happiness and what it may mean. 9-8-8 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline / Suicide Crisis Helpline in Canada.
