A Sickle Cell Crisis
How bad is banana-shaped blood?
How bad is banana-shaped blood?
We always knew we’d do an episode about sickle at some point down the line, so why not give it a go during Sickle Cell Awareness Month? And why not do our first full outside-the-studio recording too… in Birmingham!
In this week’s episode we’re gonna feel. Shyarntai, a 19-year-old student, talks to us about her experience of living with sickle cell and Jenica Leah, a Sickle Cell Activist and Expert, comes through with some heartfelt lines on how she is trying to help people with the disease. So, whether you know all about it or wanna hear a bit more, this one is for you.
