Warriors, we need you — now more than ever. ⏰

California State funding for Cayenne Wellness Center is at stake, and the programs you depend on — mental health services, community health workers, transportation, and more — could disappear without it.

Here's how to help before March 5th:

- Find your CA legislator → http://findyourrep.legislature.ca.gov?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_content=ap_ahmj5bn2dh
- Write them a letter sharing your story
- Submit it directly on their website

Every voice counts. The more legislators hear from our community, the stronger our case.

Need help? Call 818-570-0907 or email dawna(at)cayennewellness(dot)org - Let's fight for what keeps us well. 💛

We're so proud to have celebrated "You Look Fine", director JSnowPro's powerful testimony of living with Sickle Cell Disease, fresh off its premiere at the Slamdance Film Festival.

Our LA community showed up, showed out, and every seat was filled. Thank you to everyone who came out. This is exactly why we do what we do - for Warriors. ❤️🔥

Our clients are loving the Priapism Kits from DiMitrious, also known as AR The Prophet, and we understand why. What started as pain became purpose. That’s advocacy in action.

Priapism is a serious complication of sickle cell disease and these kits are helping spark honest conversations, increase awareness, and remind men and boys that their health matters. You are not alone. Your body deserves care.

Thank you DiMitrious for turning lived experience into leadership and education.

If you know a male sickle cell warrior in California, DM us so we can connect you with a community health worker who can get a kit into his hands. Access, education, and support matters.

For educational purposes only: Watch “A Day In The Life of a Sickle Cell Souljah: Priapism Edition” on YouTube to learn more.

You spend your days advocating, comforting, and managing the invisible load of Sickle Cell Disease. But who is holding space for you?

Caregiving is an act of deep, unconditional love—yet it can be incredibly isolating. There is a unique kind of relief in simply being in a room with other parents, partners, and siblings who truly understand the late nights, the worry, and the hospital runs. You don't have to carry the heavy days all by yourself.

We’ve carved out 60 minutes just for you to take a breath, connect, and recharge alongside people who actually get it.

- Thursday Evenings (Feb 26, March 5, & March 12)
- 6:00–7:00 PM PST
- For anyone caring for a Sickle Cell Warrior

We saved a seat for you. Tap the link in the comments/bio to RSVP.
