CHARLOTTE, N.C., Nov. 25, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Elev8 MD Wellness Center recently hosted two actors from the Oprah Winfrey Television Network (OWN), Timon Kyle Durrett of “Queen Sugar” and William Bryant, Jr. of “Greenleaf,” to raise awareness about the center’s innovative treatments, such as ketamine in fusions, to combat depression.

“There is one suicide attempt every 1.6 seconds in the U.S.,” said Dr. LaKesha Legree of Elev8MD Wellness Center. “Raising awareness and eliminating the shame and stigma associated with clinical depression is critical to the overall health of a community. I’m honored to have Timon Durrett and William Bryant, Jr. helping to carry this message.”
Created by critically acclaimed filmmaker Ava DuVernay, Queen Sugar follows the lives of three siblings who move to Louisiana to claim an inheritance from their recently departed father, an 800-acre sugarcane farm. Durrett plays David West, a charismatic star basketball player, ex-husband of Charley, and father of Micah. His involvement in a sex scandal resulted in the end of their marriage.
Durrett’s other movie credits include “Barbershop: The Next Cut” and “72 Hours.” His television credits include “Heroes,” “Samantha Who,” and “Single Ladies.”
Created by Craig Wright and executive produced by Oprah Winfrey and Lionsgate Television, Greenleaf follows the unscrupulous family and their sprawling Memphis megachurch with predominantly African-American members. Bryant plays Aaron Jeffries, a recurring who does zoning law in Nashville, TN. He was caught by his father, Bishop Lionel Jeffries, having an affair while making a surprise visit.
