Fighting Sickle Cell

01/06/2021

Firstly, HAPPY NEW YEAR! I have been lucky enough to see 2021. This year I am finally prepared to share what I have been working on for years. I will be launching a full "Fighting Sickle Cell" website and starting a program called "Sickle Succeed" within the DMV.

I am also trying to find women who have sickle cell (any type) and have children to share their stories. I have been searching the internet for personal stories about conception, pregnancy, delivery and raising a child while having Sickle Cell. Unfortunately I have found nothing but medical abstracts listing a monumental amount of information about how dangerous it is and all the things that can go wrong. Or information about how to prevent having a child a with sickle cell.

Although I am focusing on the mother I would also like to hear from men with sickle cell that have children also.

Or a person that doesn't have sickle cell but their partner does.

I'm also on the hunt for personal testimonials of people that have had any form genetic alteration that has cured them of sickle cell.

So if you feel like you fit any of the above scenarios, know somebody or have the some similar questions; please reach out!

Health related stigma destroys human dignity. Stigma, when associated with HIV, another medical condition, mental illness or disability, prevents a person from seeking evaluation and treatment, disclosing the diagnosis to those most likely to provide support, and following treatment guidelines.

Ok guys I know I've been on a social media hiatus 🙃 😅 but I'll be back next week with everything I've been working on! Life has been chaotic to say the least. As I'm SURE life has been for you! Yes I've been playing that silly game and sorry for those of you I bugged with it. I've been trying to catch up with people via DM.

Yes, that is my voice you've heard on the radio 📻 this Sickle Cell month. I did a PSA with Howard University Sickle Cell department in the DC, it doesn't matter where you are, the info can be found below.

Now, I have been following/reading what people are posting. Sometimes I'm disappointed 😞 by what people have posted and even more upset about the people being scammed by misinformation; on all the subjects! I realize I've been hoodwinked too, however not anywhere near as many times as some 😏 😅. I don't mock people nor do I think they are stupid 🤔 I just don't think some are as capable nor do they have the want and, or the drive to source check.

I won't belittle anybody that has found, a tiny, bit of peace in a simmering lie! As long as they do it without causing unjust harm to themselves or others!

Nevertheless I don't look to Facebook for my news. I consider Facebook to be a talk show! I even avoid the BBC page. Unfortunately I've found a ton of Sickle Cell blogs and forums to be full of scams and con artist 🎨.

Yet still there IS a lot of truth to be found here so just be vigilant and check ✔ your sources, double check ✔✔😀

As per usual I have a lot to say and I will 😀 😊. I've some lovely collaborative stuff coming with a few people you know 😉 which I'm very excited about.

In the meantime I'm going to crawl back into my hole and plot about how 🤔 to take over the world 🌎 mwhaha.....

P.S.

Never, ever stop questioning the world 🌎 around you. Nothing worth having ever comes easily and that includes the truth!

The Howard University Center for Sickle Cell Disease is calling on the community to join its annual Cure Sickle Cell Now Move-On event for 2020.
