🌿 My Story

Hi, I’m Whitney Carter, the founder of Warriors Speak Out and a proud sickle cell warrior. Living with sickle cell disease has shaped every part of my journey—from battling daily pain to discovering deep purpose in the midst of struggle. Over the years, I’ve turned my pain into passion, using my voice to raise awareness, educate communities, and uplift others who walk a similar path.

For too long, our stories have gone unheard. I created Warriors Speak Out to change that—to give a platform to the powerful, resilient voices within the sickle cell community.

Our Mission & Vision

Warriors Speak Out is more than a platform—it’s a movement. Our mission is to empower individuals living with sickle cell disease through storytelling, wellness, and community connection.

We believe in the power of shared experiences to break stigma, build understanding, and inspire change. Through events, media, and advocacy, we aim to amplify warrior voices, support mental and emotional healing, and drive forward a more compassionate, informed world.

Our vision is a world where every sickle cell warrior is heard, supported, and celebrated.
