Learning about sickle cell disease doesn't have to be overwhelming. The Ultimate Sickle Cell Activity Book was created to help children and families learn together through engaging, hands-on activities.
I just finished the new Prime Video series #EveryYearAfter based on the novel by Carley Fortune.
The show reminds me of the Summer I Turned Pretty, but I still liked it.
The show also reminds me of my happy place!
It was an honor to be part of this important event.
I’m looking forward to participating in more local events that create meaningful conversations and lasting impact.
Have you attended a community event recently that reminded you why your work matters?
This week reminded me that impact isn’t always measured by the size of the audience. Sometimes, it’s measured by the conversations you have, the connections you make, and the lives you touch.
Don’t miss out on these #primeday deals
This is the perfect time to grab these books for your children. Go to Amazon now and take advantage.

James Dorsey is 94 years old. Born on Ellerbe Plantation in Shreveport, Louisiana in 1931. He still does not have a birth certificate because the plantation never recorded his existence. The effects of slavery did not end with emancipation. They followed our people into the most basic records of identity. This is NOT ancient history.
June 19 isn’t just another day.
It is World Sickle Cell Day and I’m honored to be speaking at the 2026 World Sickle Cell Day 24-Hour Marathon, hosted by @CayenneWellness and GASCDO.

Before my daughter was diagnosed, there were things I didn’t understand about sickle cell either.
I shared some of the things with you in this video. Make sure you watch till the end.
Also, share this post in honor of World Sickle Cell Day this week.

In my newest article, I share why sibling advocacy matters and how families can intentionally support every child in the home.
Read the article and tell me: What has helped siblings in your family feel seen and supported?

#SiblingAdvocacy
When a child is living with a chronic illness, the entire family is affected—including siblings.
As a caregiver, I’ve learned that children without the diagnosis often carry worries, responsibilities, and emotions that go unnoticed.
I'm honored to be speaking at the 2026 World Sickle Cell Day 24-Hour Marathon, hosted by Cayenne Wellness Center and GASCDO.
This year, I'll be participating in two sessions:
🩸 9:15 AM EST / 6:15 AM PST
The Role of a Caregiver and the Fight Against Sickle Cell Disease
This year's theme is "Closing the Survival Gap: Equity in Sickle Cell Care." Together, we'll explore advocacy, caregiving, education, and the collective action needed to improve outcomes for individuals and families affected by sickle cell disease.
