In support of Sickle Cell Awareness Month, Provokin' Dialogue will be doing a two-part episode dedicated to the struggles of managing sickle cell pain.

Part 2 continues with R.E.M.E. detailing his journey toward understanding his body and how to recover during a crisis. R.E.M.E. opens up about his struggles due to the lack of resources provided to the sickle cell community. Shaquan questions why there is a lack of awareness around the disease and why drugs are pushed to patients over natural pathways.
