  • Do you feel like you’re obliged to raise awareness for sickle cell?

    As someone who has sickle cell, I feel like it is expected of me to raise awareness of the conditions – which is not something I want to do 24/7.

    Do you feel this pressure too?

    I do, I feel I have to raise awareness for knowing your partners genotype before any sexual relationship, and also awareness for better healthcare treatment and governmental policies. But sometimes I feel to shy to speak up🙈

    Yeah speaking up isn’t always easy, but the information we can share is so important!
