Each year, on June 19, countries all over the world celebrate World Sickle Cell Day, which was initially presented as a resolution by the United Nations in 2008. The goal of this day is to recognize sickle cell anemia is a public health problem and promote education about this genetic condition. This disease can occur in any race or ethnic group, but is most common in people of African or Hispanic descent. In the U.S., 1 in every 365 black-Americans and 1 in every 16,300 Hispanic Americans have sickle cell disease. Together with education and awareness, we can remove the stigma associated with this condition. We can be the voice of the thousands of people who are diagnosed with this condition each year. So, this World Sickle Cell Day, let us celebrate the millions of people living with sickle cell disease and focus our attention on finding more treatments and inevitably a cure for this condition.

Today, we continue our conversation to honor Sickle Cell Awareness month, which is September. We will further discuss the importance of donating blood in our community and how that is very useful especially for sickle cell patients. We will be sharing the story of an African mother who has had firsthand experience with caring for her children with sickle cell and why donating blood could not only help patients during an episode, but could go as far as saving lives. Mrs. Charlotte Tcheudji is a mother of 5 children who were born and raised in Cameroon, West Africa. Two of these children had sickle cell but were fortunate enough to undergo a bone marrow transplant, which though a fortune, has brought a tremendously positive impact on their quality of life. Charlotte has had extensive experience dealing with sickle cell patients from taking care of her children and is so passionate about speaking about the sickle cell as well as helping the underprivileged patients are going through the pain of this disease in Africa through financial and medical device donations. Mrs. Zita Fomafung, born and raised in Cameroon, West Africa, is a CPA (certified public accountant) by profession and an overall solutionner. I am a serial entrepreneur/hobby-preneur with her latest business Bojongo CPAs serving the Dallas Fort Worth area in the USA. She has several passion projects, one of which led her to create LifeLine Africa, an NGO with a mission to save lives by making blood transfusion possible. LifeLine was created in 2018 and started operations in Cameroon in 2019. They recruit, retain, and manage benevolent blood donors for their partner hospitals/blood banks. They are the first step to ensuring a safe and quality blood supply for the population.

In honor of Sickle Cell Awareness month, which is September, we will be shedding more light on sickle cell based on the personal experience of a sickle cell survivor - Iris Mafor Fobanjong. Iris, 43 years old, was born in Cameroon and currently resides in the Tampa Bay area, Florida. She works as an Emergency Room Psychiatric Nurse and she is convinced that there is nothing better than giving to others what she has received from the healthcare industry. Among her many blessings are her two girls, Georis (17 years old) and Makayla (10 years old), who have both been her topmost cheerleaders untiringly spurring her on. Everyone has a story to tell with an entirely unique theme associated with it. If you ask Iris, her story can never have an introduction nor a conclusion without delving into the question of how life has been, living with sickle cell. Iris's parents had five children (2 boys and 3 girls) and two out of these five children were born with sickle cell. Her sister, Honorine, passed onto glory at the tender age of 8, from complications that stemmed from sickle cell disease and Iris is here to share the story of her life growing up with sickle cell.

These blockages cause repeated episodes of severe pain, organ damage, serious infections, or even stroke.Who is AffectedIt is estimated that SCD affects 90,000 to 100,000 people in the United States, mainly Blacks or African Americans.The disease occurs among about 1 of every 500 Black or African-American births and among about 1 out of every 36,000 Hispanic-American births.SCD affects millions of people throughout the world and is particularly common among those whose ancestors come from sub-Saharan Africa; regions in the Western Hemisphere (South America, the Caribbean, and Central America); Saudi Arabia; India; and Mediterranean countries such as Turkey, Greece, and Italy.September is Sickle Cell Awareness month, follow us on social media channels for upcoming events.https://www.facebook.com/brkthesscycle/https://www.instagram.com/brkthesscycle/Current initiatives: assisting sickle cell families that have been impacted by Covid-19 by way of food vouchers, mask, cleaning supplies or bill payment assistance.BREAK THE CYCLE.Learn more: http://btsscycle.org./

Tonight, on It's Real Talk Radio, we'll be recognizing Sickle Cell Awareness Month, which is September for those who don't know. Ms. Sha', It's Real Talk Radio co-host, has the Sickle Cell Trait and has a child who has the actual virus which is passed on genetically. Millions of people carry the trait and millions live with the actual illness and it's important to recognize and educate ourselves on this deadly disease, which claims the lives of countless people including Hip Hop legend, Prodigy. Sickle Cell patients live with great discomfort and pain and there is no cure for it. When you have it, you have it for life. Some of you probably have a family member who has this illness and you yourself may carry the trait and not even know it. There is so much to be educated on when it comes to Sickle Cell Awareness and there's no better suited person to learn from than Ms. Sha', because she has been dealing with this disease for years! There are organizations that help and support Sickle Cell patients, including the Sickle Cell Society, the Children's Sickle Cell Foundation and others which we'll get into on the show. So make sure you listen in because there will be a lot of valuable information you can learn and pass on to friends, family and loved ones. It doesn't get much realer than this! Topics like this are what It's Real Talk Radio is all about. Spreading knowledge and making a voice for the people. #ItJustGotReal Call In # 347-838-9540
