Ruth's parents are Nigerian; she was born, raised and lives in the UK.

Ruth is young, beautiful, smart, ambitious, intelligent, brave, strong, hard working (she is a model and also works her regular day job), the list goes on......

Ruth has sickle cell in this episode, we have a candid, funny, uplifting chat about sickle cell including managing life (and pain) and relationships. Ruth is more than her genotype and has refused to let sickle cell get to run the show!

I learned so much listening to this amazing, black queen's life journey.

As a community, we must continue to raise awareness about these issues that affect us; knowledge is power.
