!["Sickle cell has impacted my life with my wellness in general. My weight has been going up and down as I get older, and the experience of swollen feet and fingers.
But fatigue all the time is so draining. I want to hang out with my friends on the weekend but when I am so tired, it really affects me being active with people in general.
Despite having sickle cell disease and still learning the process of how it works, I celebrate Pride because I believe in thriving. I know I'm fabulous and am experiencing stigma. [However], I refuse to be disrespected by anyone.
So, showing support to the LGBTQ community and spreading awareness on sickle cell has given me so much empowerment to keep thriving fearlessly every day." - Dominic, SCD Warrior
