Growing up with sickle cell disease in Cameroon, my dad was my blood bank. Little did he know that, as a black man, he carried a special blood subtype called Ro.

I have spoken to many black folks in the UK about donating blood, a lot of them had no clue how, let alone knew they carry a special blood subtype Ro, that could save my life and those living with sickle cell.

I started my YouTube journey to inspire and educate others. We need more black donors.

Black Blood Donors Needed / Sickle Cell and Blood Donation Hey luvies, in this video, I talk about why people with sickle cell need blood, why we need more black people to donate blood in the UK. If you have a chance...

Yesterday, my amazing team and I had the opportunity to meet, sit and have an enlightening conversation with the mayor of Walsall about SCD and the work we do at Plasma Of Hope. Thank you for having us Mayor Rose Martin.

It is Sickle Cell Awareness month. I chose to accept that there are some things I cannot change so need not worry about them.

I am in competition with no one. I have no desire of playing that game of being better than anyone. I am simply trying to be better than the person I was yesterday.

I am Marie-Claire Kofi, I was born Sickle Cell Disease, I inspire others to live their best life despite sickle cell challenges.

God bless you all.💕💕 Marie-Claire Kofi

It is so inspiring reading this article below. Mrs Herma Falconer, a sickle cell warrior died recently aged 89, may your soul rest in peace and you will forever be remebered in our hearts.

Growing up, I remember being told constantly that I wasn't going to live past the age of 22. That thought lived me me throughout my teenage years.

Living with sickle cell, you can have a fairly normal life and live as long as Mrs Herma Falconer. We are warriors and we will keep thriving.
