Thriver Thursday 🙌🙌 Sickle cell disease affects millions worldwide, and disproportionately impacts African-Americans. But what we don’t talk about enough? The bias. The stigma. The harmful label of “pain seeker.” Kier Spates, @juniorshms from the Steve Harvey Morning Show l, has experienced it firsthand even recently. He’s battled sickle cell for years. And instead of letting it define him, he founded Kier’s Hope to change the narrative. This is why representation, advocacy, and honest conversations matter. Kier, you are proof that thriving is possible even in the face of injustice. Thank you for leading with courage and joy. 👏🏾 #ThriverThursday #sicklecellwarrior #BlackHistoryMonth #racialbias
