Who is Deja?
1 of 3 with the Sickle Cell Trait
The baby of three sister who inherited this gene from my Dad who inherited it from his Dad. What’s funny is they found out I had the Trait before my Dad did.
Since age 3
I’ve had pain since age 3. My hands and feet ache and fatigue. Kept wondering why I was always tired. My Dad has been encouraging me to help him Advocate so you might have seen me on the radio shows when I was younger.
Advocating too
So today I am in College and during that time I created the survey we now use for our Foundation so make sure you take it and let me know what you know about sickle cell trait. I now speak in schools, set up at Health Fairs and will be helping in our latest campaign Stop Sickle Sex. More to come on that note.
