RIP Aunty
Since I heard of your demise yesterday, I went numb.
I don't know what to feel, multiple emotions run through my being and my system switched off. I have had to carry heavy burden and pain on my back and heart lately, and I have been overwhelmed, I am just holding on to the hem of His garment and praying for strength not to break.
Aunty Toyin, thank you for being the strength that gave us strength.
Thank you for being the voice that gave us our voice.
Thank you for leading the way that we all follow today.
I still remember the first time I saw you on the show " New dawn with Funmi Iyanda" on NTA about 21 years ago(2005). That interview did something positive in me and I know that is how your life has given life and hope to warriors in the sickle cell community at large.
You lived a whole 60 years, impacting others amidst your own challenges and pain, standing tall and smiling through it all.
You are indeed a great general and I salute you once again, as you take the bow.
Rest well in the bosom of our Lord Jesus Christ Amen 🙏🏿update

Hurray!!!

SWINT Foundation 6th year anniversary.
6 years ago I yielded to the leading of God to undertake this task for women living with sickle cell disorder.
Meeting all the women on the SWINT Foundation platform is a privilege, I will not take for granted.
It has been a rollercoaster journey.
We laughed and cried together and I am grateful to God for strength to come this far, it's the Lord's doing and it is marvelous in my sight.
Long life and good health to us all.
Long live SWINT Foundation!!!

Aunty is the first sickle cell warrior in Nigeria I know that spoke publicly about her genotype and her struggles living with sickle cell disorder.
I first saw her on my favourite TV show New Dawn with Funmi Iyanda on the national TV NTA, about 20 years ago talking about her book "Still standing".
I was glued to the TV throughout the session and I loved her bravery and resilience despite the disability she has due to the disorder, that show really did something positive to my mindset.
I remember reaching out to her when I found her on Facebook and connected, thank you for speaking out with so much passion.
Aunty Toyin, Founder Sickle cell Advocacy and Management Initiative (SAMI) is a pioneer sickle cell advocate in Nigerian that paved the way and gave voice for everyone of us who is into sickle cell advocacy today.
Going down 20 years memory lane and here she is today again celebrating 60 years despite all odds.
I can only be grateful and celebrate the faithfulness of God in her life!
Happy birthday Aunty Toyin Ibidunni Adesola.
It is indeed;
60 years of purpose!
60 years of resilience!
60 years of impact!
60 years of survival!
60 years of God's grace!
Happy birthday to a sickle cell general....
