    HBCUs & PWIs: Sickle Cell and Education

    On this week's episode we're discussing Education and sickle cell. I didn't always have the best game plan in school to let professors know about my condition.To me it felt like I was using my condition as an excuse and that was shameful so I didn't always tell them and it worked out for me--until it didn't and I had to jump through hoops to get a grade changed. I want you to learn from my mistakes. In this episode I share my love for my alma mater N.C. A&T, briefly explain why HBCUs were created, and share a few tips on how to be proactive by letting professors know early of any medical conditions.

    I know, I know, It has been a MINUTE!! However, I am back and ready for the many conversations to come ! Lets start with this topic: "Persons with sickle cell should not travel." I disagree 100 percent because my love language is travel. If you want to travel, travel because persons with Sickle Cell can and do absolutely travel. I am living proof. Sometimes others project the fears that they have onto your life. Do not invite such fear and doubt do what you want !
