You Belong Here. Embrace Your Sickle Cell
Let’s not just campaign for Sickle cell prevention; let’s be equally forceful in embracing the kids who are already here!
Some call it a disease; some compare it to Aids and cancer. In that, we are constantly telling sickle cell carriers that they’re dying or going to die soon, but they are not. Stop the culture of death around sickle cell! We raise them in guilt and fear. We make their condition a secret. We don’t want anyone knowing about it, except for a very small circle of people that we “trust”, because we feel guilty, ashamed, or scared.
