I want to share the Bone Marrow Transplant journey between myself and my sister online. But I’ve spent yesterday holding back tears; stealing moments between appointments to cry; being angry & exhausted and crying all day today. It’s a lot. Sickle Cell isn’t an afterthought.

When I registered to become a bone marrow donor 12 years ago, it was in anticipation for this moment; when my sister would need a donor for a Bone Marrow Transplant to treat her Sickle Cell Anemia. Today’s the first step of our BMT surgery but it’ll be a long road to recovery.

My little sister had her last blood exchange today after 6 years of cyclically going to the hospital every 4-5 weeks for blood exchanges to treat sickle cell. She will be having bi-weekly blood transfusions instead now in preparation for our bone marrow transplant to CURE her!🥹

Male violence against women and girls is not inevitable. It is the predictable outcome of a society that treats women's safety as optional rather than fundamental. We must create a culture of consent and ensure perpetrators are brought to justice.

Tiktok star Bus Aunty has joined an urgent appeal for blood donations as vital stocks from Black heritage donors run “particularly low.” In London there are over 3,000 eligible Ro donors needed to help sickle cell patients who haven’t made an appointment in the past year.

Sickle cell campaigner Simply Sayo who lost 2 of her sisters to the disease has also teamed up with Bus Aunty and the Deputy Mayor of London Dr Debbie Weekes-Bernard in backing the campaign which will see London’s red buses wrapped in a message calling for blood donors.

Cold weather, seasonal illness, and the festive season all mean that people are less likely to donate blood at this time of year. It is vital that more of us come forwards. Please make a point of making an appointment this winter 👇🏾 blood.co.uk

i think child free women need to check their ableism and misogyny cause this goes beyond your personal views on motherhood and pregnancy she is clearly a victim of medical misogyny and negligence and her disabilities are not exclusive to pregnancy why are you making

She lost her limbs because she had breast milk clog. Bringing a child to life sure has a way of unaliving you in bits. 😭😭😭

I will definitely be there repping the O+ blood type. One of the best things about being a donor is finding out what blood type you are, I had no clue until I started donating 😅🙏🏾

This level of people pleasing is nauseating.

European colonialism has decimated the planet so much, it breaks my heart. I remain hopeful, but it’s hard not to be nihilistic in this world when you understand the different ways in which this pseudoscientific racial hierarchy continues to plague societies, minds & the Earth

The makeup they call fun now is the same makeup they considered tacky on black women a year ago. All of that rhode clean girl toasty makeup bs went out the window when a ww said she “officially ended” clean makeup when black women have been doing fun makeup for years. Furthermore…

DO YOU KNOW HOW MADDENING THIS IS???!!???!??!?!!!?????

Windrush victims Hetticia & Vaun have been told by the Home Office that the impact the scandal had on their lives was ‘not profound’ to the extent it was ‘likely to be irreversible’ despite losing their home, being forced to leave the country & suffering severe health issues.

Racism is so sinister and systemic. This is sadistic. There are so many sadists in positions of authority.

A prison has been slammed after placing a British Asian man in a cell with a known racist who then murdered him. HMP Belmarsh ‘did not properly consider’ Stevie Hilden’s history of racism when they assigned Sundeep Ghuman as his cellmate at HMP Belmarsh. asianimage.co.uk/news/25624475.…
