Uncommon adversity birth uncommon opportunity
The story of @SAMIupdate...here Is where it all started👇
It started with this autobiography of Toyin Adesola @iamtoyinadesola
I will be doing this book review../1💪
..over the next 4 days to culminate on 1st September, which is 55th birthday 🎁 of the #SickleCell General @iamtoyinadesola.
And I trust it will be very impactful and exhilarating just like the review of #NelsonMandela's 'Long Walk to Freedom' that I did in July.. /2
Here are my personal observation on the right step in the right direction by @NGRSenate. The bill as sponsored by Senator Sam Egwu is 'for an act to provide for the prevention, control and management of sickle cell anemia...' /1
My observations which I believe will strengthen the #SCDBill2020 and help it achieve its objectives include:
1. Section 1 labeled sickle cell anemia 'a disease'. This, I believe, will send wrong signal and further deepen stigmatization against persons living with #SickleCell /2
