Me Myself and Sickle Cell
Living her life with sickle cell anaemia, Jenica Leah has battled with the many complications that come with the disorder; but she has never let this stop her from achieving. From being a full-time model at the age of 14 to organizing and managing catwalks with an international events specialist by the age of 20, Jenica Leah refuses to let her condition hold her back.
In order to create and develop her award winning children’s book series ‘My Friend Jen’, Jenica Leah has done in depth research of the sickle cell condition to further her knowledge of what she already knows from living with it. Her vast understanding as well as her patient expertise has placed her second to none when it comes to discussing the topic of sickle cell education and raising awareness.
