The Healthcare System is Letting Us Down: A Much Needed Conversation On Sickle Cell ft. Simply Sayo

from To My Sisters

In this powerful and moving conversation, we sit down with the ever-so-joyful Simply Sayo to discuss her personal experience living with sickle cell and how she has used her sister’s story to raise awareness and spread joy. We talk about the realities of navigating chronic illness, the power of storytelling, and what true advocacy looks like within the Black community. This episode is a reminder of how strength, softness, and sisterhood can coexist—even in the face of pain.💌 Some resources and helpful links:For anyone affected by Sickle Cell – The Sickle Cell Society is a great place to find support and information - https://www.sicklecellsociety.org/For anyone who is interested in becoming a blood donor here is all our information on the NHS Blood and Transplant site: https://www.blood.co.uk/why-give-blood/demand-for-different-blood-types/black-asian-and-minority-ethnic-communities/sickle-cell/People can also find out lots from NHS social media channels too - @givebloodnhs💌 Sign up to the mailing list: https://www.tomysisters.com☀️📚🇬🇭 DONATE to build the Bright Future Academy: https://www.tomysisters.com/donate📚 ORDER our book here: https://linktr.ee/tomysisters💕 For affordable and accessible online therapy: https://www.betterhelp.com/tomysisters💌 Send your dilemma to https://www.tomysisters.com/dilemmas Hosted on Acast.
