Stress and Sickle Cell
My days of stressing over anything are no more. Why? Because life is way too short. Stress can be a trigger for bringing on a sickle cell crisis so before you let it get to that stage, ask yourself, Is it
A Different Type of Flight
Missing my besties 30th birthday trip to Dubai last year due to sickle cell complications left me feeling absolutely gutted. I knew there was no way I could top a memorable trip to Dubai but when I found out that a Dubai experience would be coming back to London, I figured that's as close as I was going to get.

Self Love Is More Than Words – Bye For Now
I've been self loving from a young age (had no idea that's what it was called) as this was how I managed to overcome a lot of my insecurities surrounding my sickle cell.
