NO person should have a lesser chance of survival just because of their skin color. Even with stem cell matches, African American/black patients only have a 23% chance of finding a match while white patients have an 80% chance. If you are privileged, look inward, understand what you have and STAND UP and WORK to make a difference. Text FLOYD, ENOUGH and JUSTICE to 55156 to sign petition to bring justice to these victims and their families. Do your research, have the difficult conversations with peers and family, donate to the cause and seek ways to help. And (especially if you are ethnically diverse) join the registry to give every patient a 100% chance of survival 🖤
