Embracing Life and Legacy: Lessons Learned from a Sickle Cell Warrior’s Journey

Living with sickle cell disease has been a journey of both challenges and resilience. At 38 now, I reflect on the unique paths my sister Raven and I took, and the profound impact of her passing at 24. Despite our shared diagnosis, our experiences were different, teaching me invaluable lessons about strength, hope, and the importance of support. In this newsletter, I honor Raven's legacy, share insights from my journey, and highlight the power of community in navigating life with sickle cell. Join me in embracing the strength found in our shared experiences.
