Today the Tiny Mic Podcast babies are giving Baby Hass the FACTS!
**90% of stem cell donations are collected from your bloodstream, similar to donating plasma.

We keep it light, but the mission is serious. For someone waiting for a stem cell match, the right donor could mean more time, more memories, more life!

That’s why we spread awareness. And that’s why on October 17, we Party With a Purpose.

Bone marrow transplantation (BMT) is currently the only known cure for sickle cell disease. It involves replacing the abnormal stem cells residing in bone marrow with healthy cells from an eligible donor. This procedure is also sometimes called a stem cell transplant. September is National Sickle Cell Awareness Month, designated by Congress to help focus attention on the need for research and treatment of sickle cell disease. Link in bio to register as a potential life saver.

Tanikia was on the registry for many years before she was finally called when she matched a young patient needing a stem cell transplant to survive.
“It was an honor to help an anonymous child in need of my stem cells. I was his best possible match. How could I not help? I have been told countless times that it was great of me. My response is, it can be great of you too! It starts with a simple cheek swab.
My dear friends founded Shannon’s S.H.A.R.E. over 10 years ago after the heartbreaking loss of my college friend’s daughter, Shannon, to Leukemia. If you cannot join the registry, there are other ways to support them as they work to get more people on the registry and support families with members suffering with blood cancers and diseases.” - Tanikia

This Black History month, we are highlighting those that have made a difference and encourage you to do the same.
Ordinary people can do extraordinary things!

Odiney Brown, Executive Director & co-founder of Shannon’s S.H.A.R.E. Foundation, is committed to saving lives in her daughter, Shannon Tavarez’ memory.

What many don’t see is the quiet reality so many Black families face: a loved one hoping and praying for a match that may never come, simply because there aren’t enough registered donors who look like them.

This is why we swab.
This is why we show up.
This is why Shannon’s legacy lives on.

This Black History month, join us in supporting patients in our community. Help us Save us!

Nahdi Mukomana Brown is the Deputy Executive Director of Shannon’s SHARE Foundation and one of its Co-Founders. She has also been a registered bone marrow donor for over 18 years hoping to match a patient in need.

A simple cheek swab only takes minutes, but for a patient it could mean everything; more birthdays, more memories, more life.
This Black History Month, we honor our past by protecting our future.
If you’ve ever wondered if you could make a difference, this is your moment.
