Today we’d like to introduce you to Nazhi “Thee Baker” Forrest in her own words.

I have been baking for a few years now and I have also battled Sickle Cell Anemia since birth. One thing that makes me unique is that my two sisters also are fighting sickle cell! All three of us have a rare sickle cell trait that strikes all female children from my parents.

After the tragic experience of witnessing my older sister have a massive stroke in 2014, I learned more about the history of our overlooked disease. I learned about trigger foods and special dietary needs that help people living with sickle cell stay healthy.

Since I love to bake, I decided to find new ways to make treats that we love. I came up with recipes for cakes that ANYONE could enjoy; even people battling Sickle Cell or on restricted diets. I have a big sweet tooth, so it was hard to find a way to create the same taste. I kept on testing until I found a great formula that uses organic and natural ingredients. Once my parents tasted what I was making, they knew I was on to something and Nazhi Thee Baker was born! That also gave life to Nazhi Thee Baker Angel Foundation. I use the proceeds of my cakes to buy toys and items needed by children with Sickle Cell, stuck in the hospital for extended periods of time.

We are spreading awareness about Sickle Cell and we have been blessed to have our story told on local and national television and radio! This is just the beginning of our journey and we hope to inspire others to do the same.

Chris "CJ" Matthews' inspirational story began when his family experienced a loss at five years old. His grief sparked an idea. CJ wanted to help other kids who might be dealing with similar feelings of sadness. The idea led to creating a charitable project called "Blankies 4 My Buddies," which has since grown into a globally recognized organization that brings small tokens of comfort, like cozy blankets, to children dealing with traumatic situations from chronic illnesses to homelessness.

Now 14 years old, CJ has received numerous awards for his service, including being the 2019 YOU Awards International Community Service Honoree, aired on WSB-TV Atlanta, and named a Baskin Robbins Pint-Sized Hero July 2020 for his efforts during the COVID-19 pandemic. CJ is a Giving Tuesday Sparks leader, a youth ambassador in the global generosity movement. And Then There Was One is his first children's book, but he is already a published author. His award-winning poem, "I Am Great," appeared in Inklings Book 2019 (Society of Young Inklings, Inc). He contributed an essay about social justice to In Their Own Words: Relevant Essays from Brilliant Young People In The Year 2020. CJ plans to write more books.

CJ was born in Charleston, SC. His family moved to Atlanta when he was seven years old.
