Random
A member of the THESE GENES team has been ill for a bit. It really was sad but we believe that he will get out of it and be healed completely in Jesus name.
When people living with sickle cell fall ill or die, people seem reluctant to tell me, or when they do tell me, they look at me to see my reaction
My reaction hardly varied though.
It is very sad to hear that someone is ill, or that someone has died. But ever since i realised that it is not how long one lives that counts but how well, i learnt to celebrate the hours one has, and stay connected to GOD.
Death is promised to all, so that has never been a fear of mine.
My biggest fear is being alive but not breathing.
I salute Subi who is one of the most 'alive' people i know who lives his life to the max!
It is well with him

Falling in love with a sickler
So what happens if you fall in love with someone living with sickle cell
Thats what i got asked yesterday!
Maybe someone shd ask my exes cos they never seemed to mind
Ill say this tho...
Be prepared and realistic
Love does conquer a lot as families of people living with sickle cell can attest, and love helps us thrive better. Knowing we are wanted
1. Dont be afraid to speak about it and learn what being a sickler means to that person!
2. Find your own special way of dealing with it. My family and i, we use humour. What is your thing
3. Always be there, always be in love, never make them feel like a liability
Ill write on my own personal experiences in terms of love, next!

THESE GENES DAY
Allo people!
And i am back!
This time, to talk about one thing only-
THESE GENES; the Sickle Cell Project
Just in case you do not know yet, These Genes is a Project that seeks to create awareness about sickle-cell, and basically, get people talking about the disorder!!!
We like for people living with sickle cell to be able to talk about the disorder, and what living with it means for them, and we love for those with family members, friends or loved ones living with the disorder to also talk about what that entails, and to understand the physical and psychological implications of the disorder, a little more!
Apart from TEENAGE GENES which is our monthly workshop with teenagers on the disorder, we also have a website, and of course, a book in the works!
But, what we also love to do best at THESE GENES, is just get people talking in their usual, and natural environs!!!
So...
We like the month of October, and we zeroed in on a date- OCTOBER 31ST
We then cornered this day and decided to make it ours, and so OCT 31ST is now THESE GENES DAY!
This year, it is the RED AND BLUE DAY!!!
What happens on october 31st?
What happens on These Genes Day?
What happens on Red and Blue Day?
SIMPLE!!!
EVERYONE (we mean everyone that cares about us, that supports us, that lives with sickle-cell, or that knows someone who lives with sicklecell), has to wear RED and / or BLUE to work, school or play, on OCTOBER 31st!
It could be your shirt, or your shoes, or your hat, or your pants, or your hair!!! But you have to wear something red and / or something blue!
If you have a THESE GENES tshirt, wristband, or other merchandise, then you have to wear that as well!!!
And the last thing you need to do?
You need to talk to at least FIVE people, about THESE GENES, or SICKLE-CELL.
Be as brief or detailed as you please, research on the internet if you like, send it as a message if you so desire. But whatever you do, let five other people become more aware of sickle-cell, cos of YOU!!!
So that is three simple things to do with These Genes, on OCTOBER 31ST
Remember,
- Wear Red and / or Blue on Friday OCTOBER 31st.
You can wear it to work or school, and also if you are going out partying or just for drinks!
- Wear a THESE GENES wristband or tshirt if you have one
- Talk to FIVE people about sickle-cell!!!
It is going to be a lot of fun guys, and i can't wait!
Take pictures, blog about it, put it up on facebook, write about it in the papers or magazines, talk about it on your show, post a video on youtube....
Let's keep the awareness going cos we might only live once, but if we live well, then once is enough!!!
