About Jenica Leah

The Motivation Behind My Friend Jen

Jenica Leah was born with sickle cell anaemia and has overcome many complications that can come with it, including a stroke and avascular necrosis, which led to her needing a hip replacement at just 25.

 

Jenica now manages her condition well with fewer complications because she understands how her sickle cell affects her. She believes that her experience growing up with sickle cell could have been different if she understood her condition.

Jenica hopes to change this for children growing up with sickle cell today because her book series is one of a kind.
