Happy World Sickle Cell Day to you all, Amazing Warriors.

Against the many insurmountable odds, you continue to rise and show up daily.

Your strength is admirable.

Your resilience is one that records are made from.

Keep rising up and keep showing up and when you feel like resting, it is equally ok to step back and rest without guilt or censure.

And to you all amazing parents and care givers who continue to hold our hands and show up repeatedly despite your own fears and challenges, we say THANK You.

Your love is felt. Your sacrifices and silent tears are seen and deeply appreciated.

Thank you for standing strong when the chips feel low and daunting, infusing faith and strength in us.

We stand tall daily because of your unconditional love and support.

And to our amazing doctors we bow in gratitude for your love and the readiness to give in your all despite your own medical challenges, to ensure we rise again and again.

Thank you for seeing the human first before the condition. For always giving us that much needed listening ear and for proving again and again that medical knowledge and lived experience can co-exist peacefully in this battle.

We appreciate you all.

Together, we stand stronger united by a shared mission and passion, to continue to see each and everyone of us thrive against life's many odds.

In gratitude and deep appreciation.

Happy World Sickle Cell Day Fam.♥️

In recent years, patient advocacy has been instrumental in leading discussions around certain genetic conditions like Sickle Cell Disease.

To deal with the many challenges still faced by the Sickle Cell Community in Africa, an African led Advocacy is very important.

Join us as we bring why this is important during this very timely webinar organized by Umoja Africa Sicke Cell Consortia - Umascco on May 30th, 2026 at 3pm EAT ( 1pm WAT).
