What advice do you have for someone starting to date within the sickle cell community? Do you have any lessons based on your experiences?

What are the things that people would never really understand and the common misconceptions people make about sickle cell.

I have heard of people that have been vaccinated and were in a lot of pain for a week and others that were completely fine. Have you received the vaccine? If so, how was the experience, and how was your post-vaccination experience?

Now the lockdown is easing up, where is the first place you plan on going when you are able to travel again?

For me, it’s Thailand. Depending on how the world looks like around then. I would love to go to Thailand later in the year.

This time last year, a lot of people were feeling on edge due to the coronavirus outbreak. Thankfully progress is being made and people are getting vaccinated.

What is your favourite family tradition?
One thing that I look forward to every year is going to the beach with my family. This is something that we started when I was a child and it’s something I still look forward to doing in many years to come.

In the UK things have started to open up more and things are starting to return to normal.

We have been officially living with the virus for well into a year now and the world as we know it has changed significantly.

How are you keeping up and what are your biggest takeaways from the last year?

For me it is food, I love trying new foods and experiencing different cultures or buying a new gadget. These are a few of the things that bring me joy daly.
