Happy International Women’s Day!
Amy and I have been working together for over ten years and have the added benefit of being best friends. Bone Marrow Connection was founded through our bond, and the commitment to each other, our mission and the world. I can honestly say I wouldn’t be who I am today without her—through adversity and immense healing we have been by each other’s side, through thick and thin. Amy, thank you for being a mentor and chosen family member. Your grace, confidence, humor and love are infectious and I can’t wait to see where we go together next ❤️

This is Seun Adebiyi. In June 2009, Seun was diagnosed with two rare and aggressive blood cancers: stem cell leukemia and lymphoblastic lymphoma. His survival depended upon a stem cell transplant, but he was unable to find a matching bone marrow donor due to his African ancestry. Seun began advocating for cancer patients of minority descent and recruited over 10,000 donors. He also organized the first donor drive in Nigeria, and launched the first Bone Marrow Registry in Nigeria (and only the second in Africa). Seun eventually received a cord blood transplant and has been cancer free for over a decade. His commitment to signing up new donors has undoubtedly changed the outcomes for black patients around the world. In January 2019 the Nigerian Bone Marrow Registry, The Sunflower Fund, and The Moore Foundation formalized a partnership to extend donor recruitment and registry services into Ghana. We celebrate Seun, and these organizations for everything they do for black patients around the world! If you have time, Seun has an amazing TED MED talk called “Insights from an Athlete, Advocate, and Survivor”, as well as a documentary available on Amazon Prime called “More to Live For” ❤️

Happy Balck History Month! If you haven’t heard the story of Henrietta Lacks or read this book, please take the time to add it to your list. Why Henrietta is immeasurably important to modern medicine and medical ethics is both tragic and beautiful. Knowing her story, and honoring her and her family, is vitally important to understanding just a small reason why the medical community is distrusted by the BIPOC community. Acknowledging this distrust, and the valid reasons behind it, while acknowledging the reasons our medical ethics are so protective today is to celebrate this amazing black woman and her contribution. Never stop saying her name, Henrietta Lacks—the Mother of modern medicine ❤️🙏
