Hello, I’m Florence, a Peer with the Sickle Cell Trait, and your moderator on behalf of SCAGO. From a young age, I was mindful about future family planning due to my trait, a common thread among those affected by Sickle Cell Disease. In my role at SCAGO, I am devoted to amplifying awareness and signposting the availability of vital support, education, and advocacy for our community. Our mission is to foster an environment where your voices are heard, and your experiences are validated and advocated for. I am here to navigate essential conversations around sickle cell, bringing empathy and steadfast support to our collective journey.
Thank you for welcoming me, and I eagerly anticipate contributing to our unified strides towards furthering sickle cell awareness and support.
