The reason why I feel I should advocate for voices of sickle cell and myself. Growing up I was diagnosed with sickle cell. It was challenging for me because back in the day, the doctors didn't have a lot of knowledge what sickle cell was. From the support of my big family that was there for me. My mother eventually taught me how to be strong no matter what the situation is. I will stand up for my rights and people. Let's work together and stand. I have a voice that I'm not afraid to speak up. Change will come.
