This week hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum grapple with the proposed federal budget. Trump’s “big beautiful” budget is poised to be the largest cut to the social safety net in generations, and the largest transfer of wealth from low income to high income Americans EVER. Millions of Americans will lose health coverage and access to SNAP or food stamps. Countless other federal programs are being cut while the budget for the military and mass deportation adds hundreds of billions of dollars, and tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans are extended. How do we respond? Funding for research, especially medical research into diseases like Sickle Cell that disproportionately affect the Black community, has already faced cuts. The Trump administration continues to end programs that could be construed as “DEI,” which in effect is any program aimed at helping the Black community. The verdict is in for Sean “Diddy” Combs and it seems like the prosecution over reached. He was accused of and charged with some heinous acts for sure. But anytime a prominent Black man is attacked by the justice system, it can bring up some complicated emotions. And of course we’ll hear from you!

In this powerful episode of Once Upon a Gene, I sit down with James Griffin, author of Breaking Silence: Living With Sickle Cell Anemia. Diagnosed at just two years old, James spent much of his life keeping his condition a secret, fearing how others would perceive him. He faced excruciating pain, hospitalizations, and the daily challenges of living with a chronic illness—all while navigating school, friendships, and a world that often didn't understand his struggles. Now, as an advocate and author, James is using his voice to raise awareness, empower others with sickle cell disease, and push for better care, research, and understanding. In this conversation, he shares what it was like growing up with sickle cell, the language he's learned to use in emergency rooms to be taken seriously, and how he found the courage to finally open up about his diagnosis. Whether you or a loved one are affected by sickle cell disease, or you simply want to hear an inspiring story about resilience and advocacy, this episode is for you.

Sickle cell disease affects approximately 100,000 Americans, with 1 in 365 Black or African American births impacted by this inherited blood disorder. This chronic condition causes immense pain and complications, significantly reducing life expectancy and quality of life for those affected. While treatments have improved over the years, there's growing interest in exploring new avenues to manage sickle cell disease more effectively. One promising area of research is the connection between sickle cell disease and gut health. Recent studies have revealed intriguing links between the gut microbiome and various aspects of sickle cell disease, including pain management and overall well-being. Understanding this relationship could potentially open up new therapeutic approaches and improve outcomes for patients. That's why we're so glad to chat on IG Live with Dr. Charlie Ware, a holistic health expert with expertise in gut health and sickle cell. During this Live, we're going to discuss symptoms of sickle cell disease, the role of genetics in sickle cell, how your gut plays a role in your health, and so much more.

For so long, so many of our Pivot followers have asked when we will interview each other and share our own takes on certain personal questions we often wonder about but never have time to dig in and find out ... .so we are finally doing it! That's right, on this episode of the Pivot, in partnership with Fanatics, Ryan, Fred, and Channing switch it up and dive into one another's stories by interviewing each other, leaning into their own vulnerabilities while learning the how and why of who they are today and where they see themselves in the future.  The conversation kicks off with football, talking about the early youth years to how each got their big NFL break to the things they would have done differently to any regrets and how their respective teams shaped their legacy. Ryan opens up about his undrafted journey to battling Sickle Cell to winning a Super Bowl, and how those experiences furthered his "underdog mentality"—something that still fuels him today. Fred is honest about missing the game and wishing he could still play while Channing doesn't miss it at all. Channing finds it ironic that Fred feels a void because in the history books, Fred is one of the best to ever play his position. But despite Fred's legendary career, he opens up on his own struggles, through dealing with the "Fragile Freddy" stages to not yet making the Hall of Fame and the emotional toll public perception took on him. Channing gets real about the balance (or lack of) between football and everything else he did away from the game…revealing some regrets about the choices he made and how it affected his career.  Understanding that life always moves at a fast pace, doesn't mean we shouldn't stop and realize the reach of our choices is far beyond the field and what we contribute each day is how we will be remembered long after we are gone.  On the eve of Ryan's 45th birthday, he reflects on where he is today and the mission he tries to live out in all his life moments not wanting his Super Bowl win to be the single accomplishment everyone references with more focus on the impact he makes each day and how he's seen for his contributions as well as how he's viewed by the people closest to him. Ryan shares a personal story of a childhood friend recently passing away and how age is creeping up on us and that when it's all said and done, he doesn't want to be defined by his past or a single accomplishment but by who is today and his current mission.  Posing the same question to the guys, Ryan asks what the future holds for each of his co-hosts. Channing shares his vision about making the Crowder name mean something, both for his family and business, while Fred's focus is on his kids and teaching them to be strong minded and live with integrity. The depth of vulnerability and authenticity displayed in the voice of Ryan, Channing and Fred is something that will resonate with all of us as we continue to Pivot through our own lives and journeys.

Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Kier "Junior" Spates. Co-Host of Steve Harvey Morning Show and founded Kier's Hope to provide underprivileged individuals who suffer from Sickle Cell Disease to ensure they receive the medical, physical, and emotional attention they deserve. Suffering from sickle cell disease in silence is not uncommon in the African-American Community as there is a lack of knowledge of the disease. So, he created the Kier's Hope Foundation. The annual Kier's Hope 5K Fun Run and Walk and Junior Claus is an opportunity for families and those with sickle cell disease to gather and learn more about new treatments, spread awareness, and increase community engagement. Sickle Cell Disease is misunderstood as being contagious, an automatic death sentence, and that people with SCD can't do what "normal" people do!  Kier is changing that narrative. #AMI #BEST #SHMS  #STRAW  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Are we truly achieving health equity when patients with sickle cell anemia face a stark lack of family counseling and support in hospitals? How can we claim fairness in healthcare when these basic needs are so often neglected? And what about cultural differences in healthcare? How frequently are these crucial aspects overlooked, perpetuating disparities? Is it any wonder that African-American patients often feel undervalued in a system that fails to recognize their humanity?   In this episode of the Productivity Smarts Podcast, host Gerald J. Leonard is joined by Dr. Mauvareen Beverley, an executive physician renowned for her expertise in patient engagement and cultural competency. As the author of Nine Simple Solutions to Achieve Health Equity, Dr. Beverley draws on her extensive experience to explain why cultural competency is essential in healthcare. She shares innovative approaches for improving health outcomes, focusing on African American communities and patients with sickle cell disease. Through personal stories, Dr. Beverley underscores the importance of understanding cultural contexts to enhance patient care and achieve meaningful results.   Don't miss this episode for Dr. Beverley's invaluable insights and actionable strategies for advancing equitable healthcare.   What We Discuss [02:32] Dr. Beverley's background [04:43] The bridge-team concept [05:47] Patient story: Sickle cell experience [07:41] Understanding patient needs [10:39] Sustainability of health equity initiatives [12:52] Barriers to health equity [14:53] Historical context of health disparities [20:24] Cultural competence in healthcare [22:34] Curiosity in patient engagement [29:04] Workplace health equity strategies [36:23] Bridging perceptions and reality   Notable Quotes [10:32] “My focus is on sustainability of a process that we're going to put in place to achieve health equity.” - Mauvareen [10:49] “If our health is not taken care of and we're not being advocated for or we don't know how to advocate for ourselves, our productivity will be shot.” - Gerald  [20:24] “Recognize and treat all atrocity survivors the same.” - Mauvareen [27:06]  “Once accurately diagnosed, there's no human being on planet Earth that can give it that.
