Sickle cell does not stop you from dreaming.

You are human. You have dreams, goals and aspirations, and you deserve every opportunity to pursue them. Sickle cell does not take away your ability to achieve great things.

Dream big. Stay strong. Keep going. And remember, sickle cell is not a death sentence.

Watch, learn and share this message with a warrior who needs the reminder.

Happy Sickle Cell Awareness Month!

Being a caregiver means staying strong, even when you’re scared too.

In this video, our volunteer shares what it means to be there for a warrior through the difficult moments — offering strength and reassurance even when you need it yourself.

And most importantly, sickle cell is not a death sentence. With proper care, support and understanding, warriors can live fulfilling lives.

Watch, learn and share. Let’s keep supporting our warriors and their caregivers.

What we eat may not cure sickle cell, but taking care of our bodies matters.

In this conversation, Dr. Lewis Thomas shares helpful insights on fruits and foods that can support the health and wellbeing of people living with sickle cell.

Good nutrition, adequate hydration and proper medical care can all play a role in managing life with sickle cell. It is also important for warriors to understand their individual needs and follow advice from their healthcare providers.

Sometimes, one story is enough to make you pause and think.

We came across this story online and decided to share it as part of our 30 Voices. 30 Days. One Mission campaign because these are the conversations we believe need to be heard.

In the video, a mother shares her experience of raising two children living with sickle cell disease and have lost four, the frequent crises, hospital visits, missed school days and the emotional and financial weight that comes with caregiving. She also speaks about the impact it has had on her family and marriage.

Behind every warrior is a family, and behind every family may be a story we know nothing about.

This is why genotype awareness, accurate testing and informed decisions matter. It is also why families living with sickle cell need understanding, support and compassion, not judgement.

Watch her story. Listen. Learn. And share it so more people understand the reality of sickle cell.

If you are a warrior or caregiver, what do you wish more people understood?

One of the hardest things about being a caregiver is watching someone you care about go through pain you cannot take away.

In this video, our volunteer and caregiver shares what it is like seeing warriors deal with crises that can come without warning, affecting their plans, routines and ability to live what many would consider a regular life.

He also speaks about something every intending couple should take seriously: genotype compatibility.

Love is important, but so is having the right information before marriage and making informed decisions about the future you want to build together.

Watch, learn and share. Let’s have more honest conversations about sickle cell and genotype compatibility.

There’s a lot we need to understand about sickle cell, and this conversation puts many things into perspective.

In this video, Aproko Doctor breaks down what sickle cell is, the reality of its prevalence in Nigeria, and the impact it has on the lives of warriors and their families.

Using a simple chart, he explains genotype compatibility, why you should not take your genotype result for granted, and the importance of confirming your result before making life changing decisions.

He also talks about available options that can help couples make informed reproductive decisions, the reality of living with sickle cell, and the pain warriors often endure.

And to every warrior watching: keep going. Your life is bigger than your diagnosis.

This is a conversation worth watching from beginning to end.

Watch, learn, share and help someone understand sickle cell better.

Being a caregiver comes with challenges people don’t always see.

In this video, our volunteer, a footballer and caregiver, shares what it’s like trying to get the warriors he cares for to open up about what they are going through.

Sometimes, the hardest part isn’t knowing they are in pain. It’s getting them to talk about it.

He also highlights why we need to have more honest conversations about genotype compatibility, especially among intending couples. Knowing your genotype and understanding compatibility can help people make informed decisions before starting a family.

Let’s talk about sickle cell. Let’s ask questions. And most importantly, let’s create a safe space where warriors feel comfortable enough to speak.

Watch, learn and share. Someone may need this conversation.

For anyone living with sickle cell, better ways to manage crisis matter.

In this video, Arise News brings medical professionals together to discuss sickle cell crisis management and a new development that could help improve the way red blood cells function for warriors.

For warriors and their families, conversations like this matter because access to the right information can make a real difference.

There is so much about sickle cell that many of us don’t really understand until we hear from someone who has lived through it.

In this video, Nurse Regina talks about the reality of sickle cell disease and the pain warriors go through, a kind of pain only someone living with it can truly describe.

She also reminds us why genotype awareness matters, especially for intending couples and spouses. Understanding your genotype and making informed decisions can help reduce the chances of having a child with sickle cell disease.

But beyond prevention, there are people already living with sickle cell, and they deserve our love, patience, understanding and support.

Let’s learn to listen without judgement, stand by them on the difficult days, and treat every warrior with the dignity they deserve.

Watch, learn and share. Someone may need this message today.

Fashion can be a form of expression, but compassion can be a form of support.

As a fashion designer, he uses his voice to educate, support and encourage sickle cell warriors.

His message is simple: warriors deserve to be seen beyond their diagnosis, supported in their journey, and reminded that they are not alone.

Watch his story, learn from it, and share this message.
