What is Sickle Cell Disease..
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is an inherited blood disorder that affects how red blood cells work in the body. In someone with SCD, the red blood cells become hard, sticky, and shaped like a sickle (a curved farming tool), which makes it harder for blood and oxygen to flow through the body. This can cause pain, fatigue, frequent infections, and other serious health issues. While there is no universal cure, many individuals with SCD live long, fulfilling lives with early care, emotional support, and strong family advocacy.
What Sickle Cell Awareness looks like to me…
Sickle cell disease impacts more than 100 thousand worldwide, requiring immense strength and resilience from those who live with it. Red Stick Sickle Cell Group , Founded by, Whitney Carter, an advocate, sickle cell warrior, and community health worker originally from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, now located in Beaumont, TX, created this platform dedicated to raising awareness, providing support, and empowering warriors and their families.
Through her own journey as a sickle cell warrior, this created space is for connection, resources, and education. Here, we amplify the voices of those affected by sickle cell, build community, and work together toward a brighter future.
Join in the fight.
Together, we are stronger.
