We always knew we鈥檇 do an episode about sickle at some point down the line, so why not give it a go during Sickle Cell Awareness Month? And why not do our first full outside-the-studio recording too鈥� in Birmingham!
In this week鈥檚 episode we鈥檙e gonna feel. Shyarntai, a 19-year-old student, talks to us about her experience of living with sickle cell and Jenica Leah, a Sickle Cell Activist and Expert, comes through with some heartfelt lines on how she is trying to help people with the disease.
